Answer 1

Hi Vignesh V...,

unfortunately, ansible win_updatesis not a Microsoft product, it is open-source software developed and maintained by the Red Hat company. So, I suggest you contact the software support to resolve the issue.

Have a nice day.

Best regards,

Lei

Answer 2

Hi Lei Tao,

I'm using the same ansible win_update for Windows Server 2019 base, 2019 core and 2022 base. All of them are working but for windows 2022 core it causes this error - "failure_msg": "Unknown WUA HRESULT 2147944003 (UNKNOWN 80070643)" which relates more to WUA(Windows Update API) I believe.

I found something relevant to this error, can you please take a look at this and confirm the same it's something to do with the WUA.

Answer 3

Hi

I can't open the link.

It can be a compatibility issue. I recommend you contact Red Hat's support to resolve the issue.

Answer 4

hi,

Okay, maybe try copy pasting the link instead of clicking. I'm gonna post the same to Red Hat's support as well.

thanks,
