Manage Windows like Linux with Ansible
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Few questions induce fear into the heart of a Linux admin more than, "Hey, can you manage these Windows servers?"
In this session, we'll show how Ansible does simple, secure, and agentless Windows management with the exact same tools, language, and philosophy used for Linux hosts. You'll never have to log in to a Windows server again.

Life-saver, especially the first 13 min. I could not find the docs anywhere on how to do this one simple task: 'set up a windows box for ansible'. The rest of this talk was great too. Thank you so much!
Great presentation! and I love the poem at the ending! Applause!
Great presentation very well delivered. Thanks for the content and to Red Hat for such a great community.
13:14 "this doesn't look too Windows-y, does it?" 👈 this is the content I came for 😆👏🏻
Awesome presentation. I am very new to ansible, self learning on linux and aws. I have few hundred Windows that I need to manage and this presentation has given me enough confidence.
*The poem*
"I hate that you're not SSH, and the shell you called Power,
I hate the way you install your apps, Windows Update makes me glower,
I hate the way you must reboot and your web server IIS,
I hate your complex registry, it always is a mess,
I hate your junky services and your stupid domain auth,
and managing your ACLs is sure to leave me rough,
I hate that you are not linux that i have to learn you at all,
but with ansible on my tool belt, i don't hate you,
not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."
Great insight into the possibilities of using Ansible in Win Environment
I've only used Ansible on Linux and Mac so this was very insightful. Thanks tons!
Very well explained. Time to dig in!
great presentation. i am just learning ansible but this was a great video to open my eyes to what else it can do
Great presentation. Good job !!!!

Great stuff. Great presentation, very energetic!
Nice presentation
Cool presentation. Liked it.
Very nice ,. I am a beginner it's so good
Thank you very much, great presentation
During the installation you have executed below commands
CD C:\vagrant -- i am getting an error while doing this
.\ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1 -- where can i get this
please help me in this as my organisation have lots of windows servers and i am trying to automate this
Amazing!!!
I've tried the chocolatey module shown with Windows Server 2016, found that procexp is there once I reboot.
Great!
Looking at the presentation date makes me wonder why you did choose windows server 2012 not 2016 for presentation, especially win_updates feature... 🤔
My win_ping keeps throwing an error that says winrm or requests is not installed: No module named ''winrm'. I successfully downloaded pywin using pip2 install pywinrm, then pip3 install pywinrm, then I uninstalled them, created a venv and used pip install pywinrm - yet same error. Any ideas?
Have you setup winrm on the windows machines? It needs to be set on the windows machine as well as on the Ansible Controller.
@@Zratchminisemporium I did. I eventually was able to call winrm but only inside a python virtual environment. Would you happen to know how to make a python module callable outside the venv?
@@baberaham probably Windows' winrm service is stopped. Start service Winrm and execute .ps1
@@teclipe I don't think it had anything to do with my Windows side because I can run the winrm module via red hat linux terminal when I use a python virtual environment. I can ping, get patch updates, deploy patch updates, etc as long as I'm in the python env.
gr8.. Thanks
I've got: "msg": "ssl: the specified credentials were rejected by the server". What does it mean?
Does anyone knows where can i download the ps1 script to enable windows server managing.

@@romain_a Bro we can just create this powershell script for any windows box and will it work? Please confirm brother.

ACL is better then linux permissions if propperly managed.
and not touched by people that don't get it.
can you sent me the configuration of windows client
He claims to be in love with Windows but his laptop runs Fedora ;)
Red Hat made software on Red Hat issued HW. Makes sense to me.
If you hate Windows that much that you can't stop saying "love to hate" why you even bother yourself to manage Windows with your shiny Ansible?
More like Manage Windows from Linux. Doesn't run on Windows
I still hate windows.
Awesome. I loved the presentation.
