Installing Modules in Oracle linux automation manager

Damola AzeezAug 28 2023

Hi Everyone,

I have an instance of Oracle linux automation manager. I attempted to add my windows host using winrm. Whin i tried to do a test ping from the manager instance, i get the error

ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'ansible.windows.win_ping'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

My yaml file is like this

---
- name: win_ping module demo
 hosts: windows
 become: true
 gather_facts: false
 tasks:
   - name: test connection
     ansible.windows.win_ping:

From my findings online, I see that i need to install the ansible.windows collection. I tried this running the

 ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.windows

But when i try again to run the playbook from the automation manager, the error still persists.

So my question is, Is there a way to make Oracle Linux automation manager handle the installation of the ansible.windows collection?
