Windows 10 install fails on Install slave jenkins agent TASK - unreachable about ansible-role-jenkins-slave HOT 3 CLOSED

@ajweitz I don't have an answer for you unfortunately, but I'm curious if you made any progress with using this role to provision a windows jenkins agent? I'm investigating ways to automated windows agent provisioning and wondering if I should bother with this role if it's not fully supported/tested. I use this role on my linux agents and it works just fine.

EDIT: Looking at the code and your error, I'm inclined to think your problem though is that you don't have WINRM set up on your controlled (agent) machine. Have you followed these instructions for setting up your windows machine so that it can be provisioned with Ansible?

@timblaktu No progress, today I tried running it with another agent, and I have the same exact issue.
I do have WinRM set up on my agents, I'm able to run many other playbooks on them without any issue.
The line delegate_to: localhost inclines to me that this particular piece of code is running on the the ansible machine itself.

At the end it turned out it was due to the way I was running Ansible playbooks.
Instead of defining the --extra-vars in the command itself, I moved the variables of winrm definition to group vars and now it works.
