Hiya quick question re ansible for windows stuff.
Tryna install an applciation forticlient with ansible on windows with following playbook. Gives the general error as:
"module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error", "rc": 1}
checked the logs at the server where it will be installed.
whilst restarting, something is preventing the restart as installation requires restart. I reckon it has be executed as privileged access so it can restart.
my playbook looks like this:
- name: Install FortiClient on Windows Server
hosts:
- ----
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- name: Install FortiClient on Windows Server
ansible.windows.win_package:
path:
arguments: '/quiet /restart'
state: present
become: true
become_method: runas
vars:
ansible_become_user: ----
ansible_become_password: ---
