Hi Jordan,
I tried the below playbook to store the credential that Windows will use
for mapped drives. But it is throwing the below error :
- hosts: [win]
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Save the network credentials required for the mapped drive
win_credential:
name: 10.224.233.199 -----> windows machine IP
type: domain_password
state: present
#persistence: local
#secret_format: text
#update_secret: always
username: Administrator-----> windows machine username
secret: opteamix------> windows machine password
become: yes
become_method: runas
vars:
# become is required to save and retrieve the credentials in the tasks
ansible_become_user: apple ----- username of the drive to be
mapped.
ansible_become_pass: barharbour -----password of the drive to be
mapped.
ansible_become_flags: logon_type=new_credentials
logon_flags=netcredentials_only
fatal: [10.234.224.199]: FAILED! => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "Unhandled exception while executing module: Exception calling
\"GetCredential\" with \"2\" argument(s): \"Failed to access the user's
credential store, run the module with become\""
Thanks,
Mahesh
