We're pleased to announce the release of pywinrm 0.3.0 beta 1, and hoping our friends that manage Windows with Ansible will put it through its paces... The marquee feature on this release enables HTTP message encryption on NTLM, Kerberos, and CredSSP (in conjunction with updates to several

[ansible-project] How to provide prompt inputs

HI, I am trying to write an ansible playbook which will run some command on a remote server, but the problem is when this command is run, it asks for user and password which I cannot provide from the command line. I am prompted to enter these values, any idea how this can be done with Ansible?

[ansible-project] Re: Shortcut for making Ansible groups from EC2 tags

Thanks for the posts, very helpful. A couple things a year and a half later: The dynamic inventory script (ec2.py) now returns ec2_tag_Name so for a lot of things you can use the when parameter to say something like "when: ec2_tag_Name == your_tag_name" However, this doesn't work if you want

Re: [ansible-project] Run once with when statement causes only skipped action to run

I can't think of a clever way to use delegate_to, I really need the run_once functionality since these are all running in parallel. Weirdly, when I try to create an in-memory host group using when and add_host the task only gets executed one time (on a skipped host). I don't have run_once on

Re: [ansible-project] Re: Ansible fails to connect to newly provisioned EC2 on 3rd task after successful running first 2 tasks

Yes, I use the wait parameter in the ec2 module. And the weirdest thing is that two of the tasks work before the third fails, so the connection is up and working and then just stops working. I've seen this when uploading files as well with messages like "the sftp file transfer mechansi failed",

Re: [ansible-project] Run once with when statement causes only skipped action to run

Thanks for the replies. That's an interesting idea about using delegate_to, perhaps I can use a jinja2 filter to only delegate_to a host matching the criteria in the when. I was considering creating an in-memory group of only the hosts that matched the when but that sounds a bit verbose and a

Re: [ansible-project] Run once with when statement causes only skipped action to run

By default `run_once` only executes the task against the 1st host in the list of hosts in the play batch. As such, the `when` statement only uses the variables from that 1 host. Effectively it is doing: run_once: true delegate_to: "{{ ansible_play_batch[0] }}" So you will either need to ensure

[ansible-project] Run once with when statement causes only skipped action to run

Hey, I'm seeing some weird behavior that does not seem intuitive when trying to use run_once with when. Intuitively I think this should run an action one time when the conditional is met, however what I'm seeing is that a skipped action is ran (because the conditional is false) and nothing
