Hi Matt, I'm using dynamically generated inventory in this case. So, I've 
used Ansible to generate a Windows instance and then I do this:

PLAY [Configure the EC2 instance] 
**********************************************

TASK [setup] 
*******************************************************************
  gather_facts: True
  vars:
    ansible_port: 5986
    ansible_connection: winrm
    ansible_winrm_transport: ssl
    ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore
   ....   
   ....


And I get this outcome:

PLAY [Configure the EC2 instance] 
**********************************************

TASK [setup] 
*******************************************************************
<52.36.20.10> ESTABLISH WINRM CONNECTION FOR USER: Administrator on PORT 
5986 TO 52.36.20.10

    return self.transport.send_message(message)

    raise WinRMTransportError('http', ex.reason)

Am I missing something here??
