Max retries exceeded with url: /wsman

Problem Description:

When you run WIN_PING from Ansible tower against Windows server, you get the error certificate verify failed or max retries exceeded.

It happens because the Windows WINRM certificate is not trusted by Ansible/Python.

Solution:

Please add a line “ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore” to your inventory file.

Save your file and now run win_ping module again.
