Thanks for the reply Abhi
What i noticed is it does update the file if there is no entry like blow is
the o/p
TASK [Update the Inventory]
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************
changed: [localhost] => (item=xx)
but if the entry already present in more than 1 group say .. then it does
not update the file & the output is
TASK [Update the Inventory]
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=xxx)
So if a fresh box it is ok ( ie never had been provisioned )
