Thanks for the response!

I have tried the following Powershell options:
set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal 
Server'-name "fDenyTSConnections" -Value 0
set-ItemProperty -Path 
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE:System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server' -name 
"fDenyTSConnections" -Value 0
set-ItemProperty -Path 
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server' -name 
"fDenyTSConnections" -Value 0

But none of them work. Got the following error with the option you 
suggested.

"invocation": {"module_args": {"_raw_params": "set-ItemProperty -Path

I have no doubt if I used the win_regedit it would work. But Im trying to 
figure out why Ansible is not able to run a simple Powershell script from a 
playbook?
Why am I able to run that script successfully from the machine, but it 
fails when Ansible ties to execute it from a playbook.

This is the part of the error that concerns me:
<S S=\"Error\">set-ItemProperty : Cannot find path 
'C:\\Users\\Administrator\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\_x000D__x000A_</S>

Why is Ansible trying to find the path in C:\\ when this is a registry 
script?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers
Mark
