How to enable WinRM in Windows
To simplify this process, Ansible provides a PowerShell script, which needs to be run as an administrator in the PowerShell console. Download the PowerShell script from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible/ansible/devel/examples/scripts/ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1.
On a Windows machine, open the command prompt as an administrator and run the following command:
powershell.exe -File ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1 -CertValidityDays 100
Make sure you opened port 5986 for the Windows machine in firewall rules. For more references, about Windows setup, visit http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro_windows.html.
