Ansible Control Windows host Group batch Patching

A while ago because of Windows SMB protocol vulnerability, manually to Windows patching, tired sleep does not love.

After the research, find out the simple method, use the ansible to carry on the batch operation, avoids the artificial complexity.

Windows patch Download Web site

Https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx

Download a KB4025337 and get the link:

$ wget http://download.windowsupdate.com/c/msdownload/update/software/secu/2017/07/windows6.1-kb4025337-x64_ C013b7fcf3486a0f71c4f58fc361bfdb715c4e94.msu

Use the ansible command to copy this patch to the C drive

$ ansible win_group-m win_copy-a "Src=/ms Patch/windows6.1-kb4025337-x64.msu Dest=c:\ "

Win_group is a host group defined in the hosts

The commands executed in CMD are as follows:

WUSA C:\windows6.1-kb4025337-x64_.msu/quiet/norestart/log

The WUSA command is parsed as follows:

Change to ansible, we need to call Win_shell command

$ ansible win_group-m win_copy-a "WUSA c:\windows6.1-kb4025337-x64.msu/quiet/norestart/log"

• 
  

• The reasons why you should not use the Win_command module are as follows
  

• The given command is executed on all selected nodes. It is not being processed through the shell, so variables like $env: HOME and operations like "<", ">", "|", and ";" W Ill not work (with the Win_shell module if you need these features).
  

• 
  

• Finally, a log record of successful Windows installation is attached, and a list of completed patches has been installed

A follow-up idea is to automate the process to see how long it will take to complete.
