Hello,

I fixed a lot in that playbook, and only last part is not working:

This is the playbook:

name: To Create VMs on Hyper-v
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: False

vars_files: ~/hyper-v/playbooks/Hyper-v--vars.yml

tasks:
- name: Create a file from a Jinja2 template
template:
src: ~/hyper-v/playbooks/Hyper-v-VMs-VARs.ps1.j2
dest: ~/hyper-v/playbooks/Hyper-v-VMs-VARs.ps1

  • name: Copying Files to Windows Server
    shell: scp ~/hyper-v/playbooks/Hyper-v-VMs-VARs.ps1 10.3.2.25:C:/001-Scripts/

  • name: To Create VMs on Hyper-v
    ansible.windows.win_shell: powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File 10.3.2.25:C:\001-Scripts\Hyper-v-VMs-VARs.ps1
    this part in the script where I got the error:

name: To Create VMs on Hyper-v
ansible.windows.win_shell: powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File 10.3.2.25:C:\001-Scripts\Hyper-v-VMs-VARs.ps1
error:
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "module_stderr": "/bin/sh: powershell: command not found\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error", "rc": 127}

can somebody please let me know how it can be fixed
