Sorry, you're right, I should have posted what I changed.
I added these lines from the example
here.
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/windows_setup.html#installing-win32-openssh
- name: set the default shell to PowerShell
win_regedit:
path: HKLM:\SOFTWARE\OpenSSH
name: DefaultShell
data: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
type: string
state: present
It worked fine when I ran it after the addition, but the *subsequent runs
of my playbook *turned up the error. I've even tried removing the "set the
default shell to Powershell" snippet and it's still turning up this vexing
error.
So you're right, it's like this Powershell example did something that is
breaking subsequent runs.
