[ansible-project] Re: Windows Domain/Ansible Kerberos Auth Issues Still

[David Foley]

Are these Linux Machines? 
how many Domain Controllers are in your Environment if you have more then 
one it may be doing a round-robin on the Kerberos and failing on one Domain 
and not on the other.: you need to start restricting down to only allow 
your Linux Server to Connect to one AD.

Re: [ansible-project] ansible kerberos library is not installed

[David Foley]

I would advise speaking to your AD Team or your GPO Administrator, They may 
have updated their GPO Policies to stop communication over the ports used 
for Kerberos:  This Issue doesn't seem to be an Ansible issue but an issue 
with your Environment setup.

I don't think the Cloud had your use case in mind when it was first 
offered, a better PoC would be how to use Terraform / Ansible / Packer for 
a Multi-Cloud Hybrid Solution: if you are Studying in the Cloud Field a 
better PoC would be a Multi-Cloud Environment as a HA Setup.

For Example: 

If you are Running an Application on AWS how can we have a Fault Torelance 
Solution on GCP within the Same Region for GDPR: If you have German 
Customer their Data needs to have jurisdiction within Germany. With this in 
mind if your AWS Region in Germany goes down how do we make sure Fault 
Torelance is in place and Traffic is routed to a Secondary Cloud Provider 
(Azure / GCP) Similar to an On-Prem Solution were a Company would have 2 
Datacenters in within the Same Country but in different locations 
(Availability Zones).

[ansible-project] Re: problem passing var between tasks.

[David Foley]

Another way I know is to send the reg to the stdout and cat that stdout 
into the other playbook.
similar to outputting to the File, but if the API Value is big you may be 
better off with the Text File.


 register: test
   - debug: msg="{{test.stdout}}"

 


  tasks:
   - shell: cat "{{test.stdout}}"

Why two Playbook ? 

But either way, Copy the Reg to a Local Json File

Then in your Second Playbook Just read in the JSON File

[David Foley]

When you Run Windows Update it returns all available Updates as you can see 
from your Output it's skipping as they aren't in the Whitelist

Your WHEN statement is wrong.  you need to Set it to something like when: 
update_result.reboot_required == True

[ansible-project] How to pass params from Ansible to Jenkins Job triggered by Ansible Playbook?

[David Foley]

Hi,

In order to push jobs from Ansible or even Python to Jenkins you need to make 
sure Remote Trigger is enable and an API Token has been created for your 
Jenkins User. You can Then just use a Post request using the Ansible URI module

Hi All,

Just wondering is their a better way of doing the Following?

Looking at maybe something I'm used to with Salt.

- name: Power Down Virutal Machine
vmware_guest_powerstate:
  validate_certs: no
 {% if mdb_console.json.0['console is defind %}
  hostname: "{{ mdb_console.json.0['console'] }}"
 {% else %}
  hostname: "{{ mdb_console.json.0['vconsole'] }}"
 {% endif %} 
  username: "{{ user }}"
  password: "{{ pass }}"
  name: "{{ VM_Name }}"
  state: powered-off
delegate_to: localhost
when: (json_file.stdout | from_json).power_state != "poweredOff"

[David Foley]

Not sure if it's possible with ansbile but with Salt you can set Grains and do 
if else statements based on those grains 

{% if role[host1] } 
- role: host1 
{% elif role[hoat2] %}
-role: host 2
{%endif%}

I would look up condition s for ansible

Hi
It would be nice to have different names for templates but
I don't have control of the templates just working on the automation of
different tasks within our infrastructure.

[ansible-project] Ansible Multiple virtual machines or templates with same name found.

[David Foley]

Hi All,

Trying to Deploy a Virtual Machine on a Cluster within a DataCenter which 
appears that a Template with the Same name is on a different Cluster within 
the Same Datacenter:

Looking at the Following from the Doc:
can someone help me with the absolute path ? 

I tried the following 

template: "Corp\San Diego\QR\.Golden Tempates\WS2016-DSC-0819" which didn't 
appear to Work. 

*template*  

-
Template or existing virtual machine used to create new virtual machine.
If this value is not set, virtual machine is created without using a 
template.
If the virtual machine already exists, this parameter will be ignored.
This parameter is case sensitive.
You can also specify template or VM UUID for identifying source. 
version_added 2.8. Use hw_product_uuid from vmware_guest_facts as UUID 
value.
>From version 2.8 onwards, absolute path to virtual machine or template can 
be used.


TASK [Virtual Machine customization] ***
fatal: [localhost -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Multiple 
virtual machines or templates with same name [WS2016-DSC-0819] found."}

[ansible-project] Re: ssl: the specified credentials were rejected by the server

[David Foley]

It's best to move to an Agent-Based configuration management Tool Such as 
SaltStack for Windows if your Machines are been managed by GPO which is 
preventing Ansible to Connect.
Or else configure everything before the machine joins the Domain

Still ident While Fixing The Last Ident Issue you seem to have moved

I would Recommend Reading / Watching Some Ansible Videos before taken on

If the Server is an HP maybe try this Module:

Or Dell IDrac

[ansible-project] Re: How to mix a reboot handler with a service restart handler in the same Ansible playbook?

[David Foley]

Looking at Ansible Reboot a Machine:

- name: Reboot a slow machine that might have lots of updates to apply
  reboot:
reboot_timeout: 3600

This will Reboot the System and Test the connection: I wonder if you do a 
Timeout of zero: default is 6000 what happens if you set this to zero, 

Also the Return Value from the above is 

*rebooted*  

boolean
always 
true if the machine was rebooted

*Sample:*
True


I haven't Tested this code:

- name: Reboot a slow machine that might have lots of updates to apply
  reboot:
reboot_timeout: 3600
  register: reboot

  - debug:
  var: reboot.rebooted

- name: Service Restart
  service:
name: httpd
state: restarted
  when: "{{ reboot }}" == no

Re: [ansible-project] Re: Need some suggestion

[David Foley]

If you are looking to break your application roles up into some sort of micro 
service: I would suggest looking at Ansible plugin for Jenkins and configure a 
pipeline with choces, based on these it will callthe roles, or you can have a 
pipeline for each role with a downstream from the main pipeline.

[ansible-project] Re: Powershell code in Ansible playbook returns non zero error code

Have you Tested the Powershell Code on a local machine to make sure it's 
working ? 
You could:

   - Create the Powershell Script in Name.ps1
   - Copy Name.ps1 to Temp
   - Run it and then Remove name.ps1 from Temp Folder


In the past, I had issues with running Powershell Scripts using Ansible, 
Now if i need to use Powershell, Adding / Removing AD Objects I just use 
SaltStack for that.

Have the Following Playbook Which Returns the following

ok: [localhost] => {
"mdb.json": [
{
"mac-address": "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"
}
]
}


--
- hosts: localhost

uri: url="http://.com?field=mac-address; return_content=yes
register: mdb
  - debug:

What i would like to Return is just 

 "msg":  "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"

But Split doesn't seem to work

but not sure what could be causing the following:: fatal: [localhost ->
