The windows server u used is just your local machine or an instance you created on something like Oracle Virtual Box?

Ansible does require linux as the controller, but the workaround to running Ansible on Windows is using WSL in Windows to run Ansible commands natively

Hey great video

how do i add multiple hosts to install apllication on windows by using ansible playbook??

[marlonramanan]

I will review the video. I am curious, I have heard others say Ansible works better on Windows Servers than Windows Desktop due to connection issues. In you experience, is this the case?
I am hoping that Ansible can work in a dependable manner for Windows Desktops.

Great video - since the making of this have you tried just using SSH on windows? By the time you do all the steps required to get winrm going, could have just installed openSSh and be running Ansible as it was intended. Would love to see video for making that work. Thanks for a great intro to try to get this to work.
