I am struggling with a proper way to remove a patch KB your method is
failing for me
---
- name: Install all windows security and critical updates and wait 10 mins
hosts: all
become: false
tasks:
- name: uninstall kb
win_shell: WUSA /uninstall /kb:{{ 5015811 }} /quiet /norestart
register: uninstall
Error:
ERROR! We were unable to read either as JSON nor YAML, these are the errors
we got from each:
JSON: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
Syntax Error while loading YAML.
did not find expected '-' indicator
The error appears to be in
'/tmp/bwrap_180_6em4f0yx/awx_180_n9swe56o/project/winupdateuninstall.yml':
line 7, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
- name: uninstall kb
win_shell: WUSA /uninstall /kb: "{{ 5015811 }}" /quiet /norestart
^ here
We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they
start a value. For instance:
with_items:
- {{ foo }}
Should be written as:
with_items:
- "{{ foo }}"
