Basically i have a include_vars file that has all my configs, want
with_items to only pull back the required config.
example / include_vars:
---
small2019:
- config: "DC2019"
InstallMedia:
Source: "\\\\someshare\\"
SourceVHDX: "Virtual Hard Disks\\DC2019.vhdx"
Destination: "C:\\ISOs\\MDT\\DC2019\\"
large2019:
- config: "DC2019"
InstallMedia:
Source: "\\\\someshare\\"
SourceVHDX: "Virtual Hard Disks\\DC2019.vhdx"
Destination: "C:\\ISOs\\MDT\\DC2019\\"
