1
00:00:06,770 --> 00:00:07,603
- All right.

2
00:00:07,603 --> 00:00:10,840
So first part is to use Ad-hoc commands

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,890
for Ansible facts on the windows server.

4
00:00:13,890 --> 00:00:17,220
Let's do an Ansible doc pipe grep.

5
00:00:19,130 --> 00:00:21,123
Everything starting win.

6
00:00:22,510 --> 00:00:24,303
Oh, my mistake.

7
00:00:25,330 --> 00:00:26,810
Minus L.

8
00:00:26,810 --> 00:00:29,840
Now we can see the
different windows options.

9
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,483
So is there anything with facts?

10
00:00:35,220 --> 00:00:37,610
And we have a win chocolatey

11
00:00:37,610 --> 00:00:41,110
and a win disk facts
and a win product facts.

12
00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:42,380
That's an interesting one.

13
00:00:42,380 --> 00:00:46,200
We don't have anything at first sight.

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,993
So, okay.

15
00:00:48,850 --> 00:00:50,923
So let's do Ansible.

16
00:00:55,144 --> 00:00:57,697
And of course we need
to tweak the inventory

17
00:00:59,890 --> 00:01:01,550
with the windows machine.

18
00:01:01,550 --> 00:01:02,490
Let's do Ansible

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,800
windows minus M

20
00:01:09,140 --> 00:01:11,713
win disk facts.

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,560
Or maybe a little bit
easier, win product facts.

22
00:01:19,550 --> 00:01:21,670
And that should be reaching
out to the windows server

23
00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:23,713
and give us product facts.

24
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,070
Fact gathering can always
take a little bit of time.

25
00:01:28,070 --> 00:01:31,180
So sit it out, be patient and oh, no!

26
00:01:31,180 --> 00:01:32,013
What do we get?

27
00:01:32,013 --> 00:01:35,280
Well, we get failed to
connect to the hosts via ssh.

28
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,113
Does that make sense?

29
00:01:36,113 --> 00:01:38,393
Yes, that makes sense
because you remember,

30
00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:43,550
we had this separate
windows product directory.

31
00:01:43,550 --> 00:01:45,260
And in this product directory,

32
00:01:45,260 --> 00:01:47,440
there was an inventory and this inventory

33
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,940
is telling us to use
win RM instead of SSH.

34
00:01:50,940 --> 00:01:55,940
So let's run it again and
see if that is better.

35
00:01:56,390 --> 00:01:58,930
And should almost be better.

36
00:01:58,930 --> 00:02:02,160
We should be looking at win, not windows.

37
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,793
And now we can see, yay
fact gathering is working.

38
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,430
Now, how about users?

39
00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:14,430
Well, I would say Ansible doc win user.

40
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,720
Just a wild guess.

41
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,880
And yay, we have a win user.

42
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,630
And if I want to use a module like this,

43
00:02:21,630 --> 00:02:24,330
I need to look for mandatory options.

44
00:02:24,330 --> 00:02:28,290
And I would say a name
is a mandatory option

45
00:02:28,290 --> 00:02:31,073
and maybe also a password.

46
00:02:32,870 --> 00:02:35,170
Plain text, that's okay with me.

47
00:02:35,170 --> 00:02:36,123
Name and password.

48
00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:39,730
So Ansible

49
00:02:39,730 --> 00:02:44,410
win minus m win user minus a.

50
00:02:44,410 --> 00:02:45,803
Name is Anna.

51
00:02:46,820 --> 00:02:50,673
Password is password.

52
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,940
And uh-oh.

53
00:02:52,940 --> 00:02:55,883
Well, at least we can see
that windows is answering.

54
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,003
So let's do a secure password.

55
00:03:06,010 --> 00:03:08,250
Like I told you before,

56
00:03:08,250 --> 00:03:11,580
putting passwords this
way is not really elegant.

57
00:03:11,580 --> 00:03:14,430
Later in this course you will
learn about Ansible vault,

58
00:03:14,430 --> 00:03:17,040
which is telling you how to
do it in a really secure way.

59
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,733
But for now, it should work.

60
00:03:21,460 --> 00:03:25,060
And there we go, user
has just been created.

61
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:26,560
And that's how it works.

62
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,393
That's all.

63
00:03:27,393 --> 00:03:28,680
Let's continue with the next lesson

64
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,223
which is about playbooks.
