    "unreachable": true
}

Any help to resolve this error message?

Thanks

Answer 1

I was getting the below error

msg: 'credssp: Server did not response with a CredSSP token after step Step 5. Delegate Credentials - actual '''''

after updating pywinrm to 0.4.2 the issue was resolved

Answer 2

I'm using PSRP to a Windows 2012R2 server and I have the same issue on a win_copy task, but win_ping works. That didn't make any sense, then I disabled the Antivirus (McAfee) and the issue is gone.

Answer 3

On the Windows server set the Credssp to true. Open powershell as administrator and paste the below commands:

winrm set winrm/config/service/auth '@{CredSSP="true"}'

winrm set winrm/config/client/auth '@{CredSSP="true"}'

Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role Server

Then you will be able to get:

 SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"

for the ansible windows -i hosts -m win_ping command.
