I have configured the windows server and able win_ping successfully. However I am unable to find modules for commvault which is running on windows. I have tried installing CVPySDK modules, but no success. I am unable to find the modules for commvault which is running on windows.. Can someone help me on it.. pls… as I am new to ansible.

Nice article. Testing it now on a Windows 11 VM. But there is a type in the playbook:

– host: winhost

should be

– hosts: winhost

Hi Experts,

I have a question. How to handle windows workstations patching using Ansible. When the workstations are offline during patching schedule, they will not get latest patches installed. How do we need to automate the patching and execute a patching job from Ansible as and when workstations come online after actual patching schedule.
