Ansible Connection from Ubuntu to Windows (using WinRM)

Anonymous

I want to connect through 20 windows machine using my Ubuntu machine (controller node)

In my Ubuntu machine I have ansible installed and I need to connect the above 20 Windows machines (I have info like IP, Hostname, Userid, Password) using Kerberos Authentication since all the machines are under single domain network. And Basic, Certificate all the other methods are disabled by "GPO". Only using Kerberos.

I am able to connect through the 2 Machines because I have explicitly Enabled WinRM.. like "WinRM qc" and then added HTTPS 5986 port

But I don't want to go to each and every machine and enable WinRM separately, instead create a script that does enabling WinRM, opening ports, allowing traffic etc by itself. No physical intervention at all. And everything using Ubuntu machine which has Ansible.

    Hello,

    Since the scripting service is beyond the scope of support, it can provide you with command support. You can refer to the following CMD implementation.

    #Quickly configure the WinRM service, including opening WinRM and opening firewall anomaly detection, HTTPS transmission, port 5986

    winrm quickconfig -transport:https

    Best regards
