Windows Automation Workshop Exercise 7 Section 2

[ramrexx]

Area

Ansible Windows Automation Workshop

Proposed Changes

In the following section, the documentation incorrectly sets up the category_names and reboot parameters.

Section 2 – Write Your Playbook
Edit site.yml and add the following:

---

• hosts: windows
  name: This is my Windows patching playbook
  tasks:
  • name: Install Windows Updates
    win_updates:
    category_names: ""
    reboot: ""

Instead it should be this instead as noted here: https://github.com/ansible/workshops/tree/devel/exercises/ansible_windows/7-win-patch#section-2--write-your-playbook

---

• hosts: windows
  name: This is my Windows patching playbook
  tasks:
  • name: Install Windows Updates
    win_updates:
    category_names: "{{ categories | default(omit) }}"
    reboot: "{{ reboot_server | default(true) }}"
