Ansible Microsoft Windows

This Integration is part of the Ansible Microsoft Windows Pack.#

Supported versions

Supported Cortex XSOAR versions: 6.0.0 and later.

This integration enables the management of Microsoft Windows hosts directly from XSOAR using Ansible modules. The Ansible engine is self-contained and pre-configured as part of this pack onto your XSOAR server, all you need to do is provide credentials you are ready to use the feature rich commands. This integration functions without any agents or additional software installed on the Windows hosts by utilising the Windows Remote Management (WinRM) API interface present in Windows 2008 and above combined with PowerShell.

To use this integration, configure an instance of this integration. This will associate a credential to be used to access hosts when commands are run. The commands from this integration will take the Windows host address(es) as an input, and use the saved credential associated to the instance to execute. Create separate instances if multiple credentials are required.

This integration uses NTLM for authentication. This ensures that actual credentials are never sent over the network, instead relying on hashing methods. By default, the initial authentication phase is performed unencrypted over HTTP, after which all communication is encrypted using a symmetric 256-bit key. If it is desired to use HTTPS from the onset, additional configuration on the Windows host is required. After WinRM is configured for HTTPS, update the port setting on the integration. Any port other than the default 5985 will use HTTPS communication.

Host Requirements#

WinRM is enabled by default on all Windows Server operating systems since Windows Server 2012 and above, but disabled on all client operating systems like Windows 10, Windows 8 and Windows 7.

WinRM can be enabled on Windows client OSes using Group Policy.

PowerShell 3.0 or newer and at least .NET 4.0 to be installed on the Windows host.

Network Requirements#

By default, TCP port 5985 will be used. If WinRM is configured for HTTPS, update the port setting on the integration.

Please also note that the default Windows Firewall Policy (Windows Remote Management (HTTP-In)) allows WinRM connections only from the private networks.

The connection will be initiated from the XSOAR engine/server specified in the instance settings.

Credentials#

A Windows Domain Account is recommended; however local accounts are also supported. The username syntax can be in Pre-Windows2000 style (domain.local/account) or in newer UPN format (account@domain.local)

Permissions#

While Administrative privileges are not strictly required, WinRM is configured by default to only allow connections from accounts in the local Administrators group.

Non-administrative accounts can be used with WinRM, however most typical server administration tasks require some level of administrative access, so the utility is usually limited.

Concurrency#

This integration supports execution of commands against multiple hosts concurrently. The host parameter accepts a list of addresses, and will run the command in parallel as per the Concurrency Factor value.

Further information#

This integration is powered by Ansible 2.9. Further information can be found on that the following locations:

Configure Ansible Microsoft Windows on Cortex XSOAR#

  1. Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Servers & Services.

  2. Search for Ansible Microsoft Windows.

  3. Click Add instance to create and configure a new integration instance.

    ParameterDescriptionRequired
    UsernameThe credentials to associate with the instance.True
    Default WinRM PortThe default port to use if one is not specified in the commands `host` argument. If 5985 is specified the HTTP transport method will be used. Otherwise HTTPS will be used for all other portsTrue
    Concurrency FactorIf multiple hosts are specified in a command, how many hosts should be interacted with concurrently.True

Testing#

This integration does not support testing from the integration management screen. Instead it is recommended to use the !win-gather-factscommand providing an example host as the command argument. This command will connect to the specified host with the configured credentials in the integration, and if successful output general information about the host.

Complex Command Inputs#

Some commands may require structured input arguments such as lists or dictionary, these can be provided in standard JSON notation wrapped in double curly braces. For example a argument called dns_servers that accepts a list of server IPs 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 would be entered as dns_servers="{{ ['8.8.8.8', '8.8.4.4'] }}".

Other more advanced data manipulation tools such as Ansible/Jinja2 filters can also be used in-line. For example to get a random number between 0 and 60 you can use {{ 60 | random }}.

Commands#

You can execute these commands from the Cortex XSOAR CLI, as part of an automation, or in a playbook. After you successfully execute a command, a DBot message appears in the War Room with the command details.

sourceSpecify the source to retrieve the package from.
Use win_chocolatey_source to manage global sources.
This value can either be the URL to a Chocolatey feed, a path to a folder containing .nupkg packages or the name of a source defined by win_chocolatey_source.
This value is also used when Chocolatey is not installed as the location of the install.ps1 script and only supports URLs for this case.
Optional
source_usernameA username to use with source when accessing a feed that requires authentication.
It is recommended you define the credentials on a source with win_chocolatey_source instead of passing it per task.
Optional

Optional
versionSpecific version of the package to be installed.
When state is set to absent, will uninstall the specific version otherwise all versions of that package will be removed.
If a different version of package is installed, state must be latest or force set to yes to install the desired version.
Provide as a string (e.g. '6.1'), otherwise it is considered to be a floating-point number and depending on the locale could become 6,1, which will cause a failure.
If name is set to chocolatey and Chocolatey is not installed on the host, this will be the version of Chocolatey that is installed. You can also set the chocolateyVersion environment var.

Base Command#

win-copy

Input#

Argument NameDescriptionRequired
hosthostname or IP of target. Optionally the port can be specified using :PORT. If multiple targets are specified using an array, the integration will use the configured concurrency factor for high performance.Required
contentWhen used instead of src, sets the contents of a file directly to the specified value.
This is for simple values, for anything complex or with formatting please switch to the template module.
Optional
decryptThis option controls the autodecryption of source files using vault. Possible values are: Yes, No. Default is Yes.Optional
destRemote absolute path where the file should be copied to.
If src is a directory, this must be a directory too.
Use \ for path separators or \ when in "double quotes".
If dest ends with \ then source or the contents of source will be copied to the directory without renaming.
If dest is a nonexistent path, it will only be created if dest ends with "/" or "\", or src is a directory.
If src and dest are files and if the parent directory of dest doesn't exist, then the task will fail.
Required
backupDetermine whether a backup should be created.
When set to yes, create a backup file including the timestamp information so you can get the original file back if you somehow clobbered it incorrectly.
No backup is taken when remote_"src"=False and multiple files are being copied. Possible values are: Yes, No. Default is No.
Optional
forceIf set to yes, the file will only be transferred if the content is different than destination.
If set to no, the file will only be transferred if the destination does not exist.
If set to no, no checksuming of the content is performed which can help improve performance on larger files. Possible values are: Yes, No. Default is Yes.
Optional
local_followThis flag indicates that filesystem links in the source tree, if they exist, should be followed. Possible values are: Yes, No. Default is Yes.Optional
remote_srcIf no, it will search for src at originating/master machine.
If yes, it will go to the remote/target machine for the src. Possible values are: Yes, No. Default is No.
Optional
srcLocal path to a file to copy to the remote server; can be absolute or relative.
If path is a directory, it is copied (including the source folder name) recursively to dest.
If path is a directory and ends with "/", only the inside contents of that directory are copied to the destination. Otherwise, if it does not end with "/", the directory itself with all contents is copied.
If path is a file and dest ends with "\", the file is copied to the folder with the same filename.
Required unless using content.

Argument NameDescriptionRequired
hosthostname or IP of target. Optionally the port can be specified using :PORT. If multiple targets are specified using an array, the integration will use the configured concurrency factor for high performance.Required
aliasAdds an alias for the credential.
Typically this is the NetBIOS name of a host if name is set to the DNS name.
Optional
attributesA list of dicts that set application specific attributes for a credential.
When set, existing attributes will be compared to the list as a whole, any differences means all attributes will be replaced.
Optional
commentA user defined comment for the credential.Optional
nameThe target that identifies the server or servers that the credential is to be used for.
If the value can be a NetBIOS name, DNS server name, DNS host name suffix with a wildcard character (*), a NetBIOS of DNS domain name that contains a wildcard character sequence, or an asterisk.
See TargetName in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/wincred/ns-wincred-_credentiala for more details on what this value can be.
This is used with type to produce a unique credential.
Required
persistenceDefines the persistence of the credential.
If local, the credential will persist for all logons of the same user on the same host.
enterprise is the same as local but the credential is visible to the same domain user when running on other hosts and not just localhost. Possible values are: enterprise, local. Default is local.
Optional
secretThe secret for the credential.
When omitted, then no secret is used for the credential if a new credentials is created.
When type is a password type, this is the password for username.
When type is a certificate type, this is the pin for the certificate.

Optional
stateWhen absent, the credential specified by name and type is removed.
When present, the credential specified by name and type is removed. Possible values are: absent, present. Default is present.
Optional
typeThe type of credential to store.
This is used with name to produce a unique credential.
When the type is a domain type, the credential is used by Microsoft authentication packages like Negotiate.
When the type is a generic type, the credential is not used by any particular authentication package.
It is recommended to use a domain type as only authentication providers can access the secret. Possible values are: domain_certificate, domain_password, generic_certificate, generic_password.
Required
update_secretWhen always, the secret will always be updated if they differ.
When on_create, the secret will only be checked/updated when it is first created.
If the secret cannot be retrieved and this is set to always, the module will always result in a change. Possible values are: always, on_create. Default is always.
Optional
usernameWhen type is a password type, then this is the username to store for the credential.
When type is a credential type, then this is the thumbprint as a hex string of the certificate to use.
When type=domain_password, this should be in the form of a Netlogon (DOMAIN\Username) or a UPN (username@DOMAIN).
If using a certificate thumbprint, the certificate must exist in the CurrentUser\My certificate store for the executing user.

win-dsc#


Invokes a PowerShell DSC configuration Further documentation available at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.9/modules/win_dsc_module.html

Base Command#

win-dsc

Input#

Argument NameDescriptionRequired
hosthostname or IP of target. Optionally the port can be specified using :PORT. If multiple targets are specified using an array, the integration will use the configured concurrency factor for high performance.Required
resource_nameThe name of the DSC Resource to use.
Must be accessible to PowerShell using any of the default paths.
Required
module_versionCan be used to configure the exact version of the DSC resource to be invoked.
Useful if the target node has multiple versions installed of the module containing the DSC resource.
If not specified, the module will follow standard PowerShell convention and use the highest version available. Default is latest.
Optional
free_formThe win_dsc module takes in multiple free form options based on the DSC resource being invoked by resource_name.
There is no option actually named free_form so see the examples.
This module will try and convert the option to the correct type required by the DSC resource and throw a warning if it fails.
If the type of the DSC resource option is a CimInstance or CimInstance[], this means the value should be a dictionary or list of dictionaries based on the values required by that option.
If the type of the DSC resource option is a PSCredential then there needs to be 2 options set in the Ansible task definition suffixed with _username and _password.
If the type of the DSC resource option is an array, then a list should be provided but a comma separated string also work. Use a list where possible as no escaping is required and it works with more complex types list CimInstance[].
If the type of the DSC resource option is a DateTime, you should use a string in the form of an ISO 8901 string to ensure the exact date is used.
Since Ansible 2.8, Ansible will now validate the input fields against the DSC resource definition automatically. Older versions will silently ignore invalid fields.
Required

Context Output#

win-get-url#


Downloads file from HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP to node Further documentation available at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.9/modules/win_get_url_module.html

Base Command#

win-get-url

Input#

Argument NameDescriptionRequired
hosthostname or IP of target. Optionally the port can be specified using :PORT. If multiple targets are specified using an array, the integration will use the configured concurrency factor for high performance.Required
urlThe full URL of a file to download.Required
destThe location to save the file at the URL.
Be sure to include a filename and extension as appropriate.
Required
forceIf yes, will download the file every time and replace the file if the contents change. If no, will only download the file if it does not exist or the remote file has been modified more recently than the local file.
This works by sending an http HEAD request to retrieve last modified time of the requested resource, so for this to work, the remote web server must support HEAD requests. Possible values are: Yes, No. Default is Yes.
Optional
checksumIf a checksum is passed to this parameter, the digest of the destination file will be calculated after it is downloaded to ensure its integrity and verify that the transfer completed successfully.
This option cannot be set with checksum_url.
Optional
checksum_algorithmSpecifies the hashing algorithm used when calculating the checksum of the remote and destination file. Possible values are: md5, sha1, sha256, sha384, sha512. Default is sha1.Optional
checksum_urlSpecifies a URL that contains the checksum values for the resource at url.
Like checksum, this is used to verify the integrity of the remote transfer.
This option cannot be set with checksum.
Optional
proxy_urlAn explicit proxy to use for the request.
By default, the request will use the IE defined proxy unless use_proxy is set to no.
Optional
proxy_usernameThe username to use for proxy authentication.Optional
proxy_passwordThe password for proxy_username.Optional
headersExtra headers to set on the request.
This should be a dictionary where the key is the header name and the value is the value for that header.
Optional
use_proxyIf no, it will not use the proxy defined in IE for the current user. Possible values are: Yes, No. Default is Yes.Optional
follow_redirectsWhether or the module should follow redirects.
all will follow all redirect.
none will not follow any redirect.
safe will follow only "safe" redirects, where "safe" means that the client is only doing a GET or HEAD on the URI to which it is being redirected. Possible values are: all, none, safe. Default is safe.
Optional
maximum_redirectionSpecify how many times the module will redirect a connection to an alternative URI before the connection fails.
If set to 0 or follow_redirects is set to none, or safe when not doing a GET or HEAD it prevents all redirection. Default is 50.
Optional
client_certThe path to the client certificate (.pfx) that is used for X509 authentication. This path can either be the path to the pfx on the filesystem or the PowerShell certificate path Cert:\CurrentUser\My\&lt;thumbprint&gt;.
The WinRM connection must be authenticated with CredSSP or become is used on the task if the certificate file is not password protected.
Other authentication types can set client_cert_password when the cert is password protected.
Optional
client_cert_passwordThe password for client_cert if the cert is password protected.Optional
methodThis option is not for use with win_get_url and should be ignored.Optional
http_agentHeader to identify as, generally appears in web server logs.
This is set to the User-Agent header on a HTTP request. Default is ansible-httpget.
Optional
timeoutSpecifies how long the request can be pending before it times out (in seconds).
Set to 0 to specify an infinite timeout. Default is 30.
Optional
validate_certsIf no, SSL certificates will not be validated.
This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. Possible values are: Yes, No. Default is Yes.
Optional
force_basic_authBy default the authentication header is only sent when a webservice responses to an initial request with a 401 status. Since some basic auth services do not properly send a 401, logins will fail.
This option forces the sending of the Basic authentication header upon the original request. Possible values are: Yes, No. Default is No.
Optional
url_usernameThe username to use for authentication.Optional
url_passwordThe password for url_username.Optional
use_default_credentialUses the current user's credentials when authenticating with a server protected with NTLM, Kerberos, or Negotiate authentication.
Sites that use Basic auth will still require explicit credentials through the url_username and url_password options.
The module will only have access to the user's credentials if using become with a password, you are connecting with SSH using a password, or connecting with WinRM using CredSSP or Kerberos with delegation.
If not using become or a different auth method to the ones stated above, there will be no default credentials available and no authentication will occur. Possible values are: Yes, No. Default is No.
Optional
proxy_use_default_credentialUses the current user's credentials when authenticating with a proxy host protected with NTLM, Kerberos, or Negotiate authentication.
Proxies that use Basic auth will still require explicit credentials through the proxy_username and proxy_password options.
The module will only have access to the user's credentials if using become with a password, you are connecting with SSH using a password, or connecting with WinRM using CredSSP or Kerberos with delegation.
If not using become or a different auth method to the ones stated above, there will be no default credentials available and no proxy authentication will occur. Possible values are: Yes, No. Default is No.

Argument NameDescriptionRequired
hosthostname or IP of target. Optionally the port can be specified using :PORT. If multiple targets are specified using an array, the integration will use the configured concurrency factor for high performance.Required
pathThe path of the file to modify.
Note that the Windows path delimiter \ must be escaped as \\ when the line is double quoted.
Before Ansible 2.3 this option was only usable as dest, destfile and name.
Required
backupDetermine whether a backup should be created.
When set to yes, create a backup file including the timestamp information so you can get the original file back if you somehow clobbered it incorrectly. Possible values are: Yes, No. Default is No.
Optional
regexThe regular expression to look for in every line of the file. For state=present, the pattern to replace if found; only the last line found will be replaced. For state=absent, the pattern of the line to remove. Uses .NET compatible regular expressions; see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hs600312%28v=vs.110%29.aspx.Optional

lineRequired for state=present. The line to insert/replace into the file. If backrefs is set, may contain backreferences that will get expanded with the regexp capture groups if the regexp matches.
Be aware that the line is processed first on the controller and thus is dependent on yaml quoting rules. Any double quoted line will have control characters, such as '\r\n', expanded. To print such characters literally, use single or no quotes.
Optional
backrefsUsed with state=present. If set, line can contain backreferences (both positional and named) that will get populated if the regexp matches. This flag changes the operation of the module slightly; insertbefore and insertafter will be ignored, and if the regexp doesn't match anywhere in the file, the file will be left unchanged.
If the regexp does match, the last matching line will be replaced by the expanded line parameter. Possible values are: Yes, No. Default is No.
Optional
insertafterUsed with state=present. If specified, the line will be inserted after the last match of specified regular expression. A special value is available; EOF for inserting the line at the end of the file.
If specified regular expression has no matches, EOF will be used instead. May not be used with backrefs. Possible values are: EOF, regex. Default is EOF.
Optional
insertbeforeUsed with state=present. If specified, the line will be inserted before the last match of specified regular expression. A value is available; BOF for inserting the line at the beginning of the file.
If specified regular expression has no matches, the line will be inserted at the end of the file. May not be used with backrefs. Possible values are: BOF, regex.
Optional
createUsed with state=present. If specified, the file will be created if it does not already exist. By default it will fail if the file is missing. Possible values are: Yes, No. Default is No.Optional
validateValidation to run before copying into place. Use %s in the command to indicate the current file to validate.
The command is passed securely so shell features like expansion and pipes won't work.
Optional
encodingSpecifies the encoding of the source text file to operate on (and thus what the output encoding will be). The default of auto will cause the module to auto-detect the encoding of the source file and ensure that the modified file is written with the same encoding.
An explicit encoding can be passed as a string that is a valid value to pass to the .NET framework System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding() method - see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding%28v=vs.110%29.aspx.
This is mostly useful with create=yes if you want to create a new file with a specific encoding. If create=yes is specified without a specific encoding, the default encoding (UTF-8, no BOM) will be used. Default is auto.
Optional
newlineSpecifies the line separator style to use for the modified file. This defaults to the windows line separator (\r\n). Note that the indicated line separator will be used for file output regardless of the original line separator that appears in the input file. Possible values are: unix, windows. Default is windows.Optional

pathThe UNC path to map the drive to.
If pointing to a WebDAV location this must still be in a UNC path in the format \\hostname\path and not a URL, see examples for more details.
To specify a https WebDAV path, add @SSL after the hostname. To specify a custom WebDAV port add @&lt;port num&gt; after the @SSL or hostname portion of the UNC path, e.g. \\server@SSL@1234 or \\server@1234.
This is required if state=present.
If state=absent and path is not set, the module will delete the mapped drive regardless of the target.
If state=absent and the path is set, the module will throw an error if path does not match the target of the mapped drive.
Optional
stateIf present will ensure the mapped drive exists.
If absent will ensure the mapped drive does not exist. Possible values are: absent, present. Default is present.
Optional
usernameThe username that is used when testing the initial connection.
This is never saved with a mapped drive, the the win_credential module to persist a username and password for a host.

Input#

Argument NameDescriptionRequired
hosthostname or IP of target. Optionally the port can be specified using :PORT. If multiple targets are specified using an array, the integration will use the configured concurrency factor for high performance.Required
argumentsAny arguments the installer needs to either install or uninstall the package.
If the package is an MSI do not supply the /qn, /log or /norestart arguments.
As of Ansible 2.5, this parameter can be a list of arguments and the module will escape the arguments as necessary, it is recommended to use a string when dealing with MSI packages due to the unique escaping issues with msiexec.
Optional
chdirSet the specified path as the current working directory before installing or uninstalling a package.Optional
creates_pathWill check the existence of the path specified and use the result to determine whether the package is already installed.
You can use this in conjunction with product_id and other creates_*.
Optional
creates_serviceWill check the existing of the service specified and use the result to determine whether the package is already installed.
You can use this in conjunction with product_id and other creates_*.
Optional
creates_versionWill check the file version property of the file at creates_path and use the result to determine whether the package is already installed.
creates_path MUST be set and is a file.
You can use this in conjunction with product_id and other creates_*.
Optional
expected_return_codeOne or more return codes from the package installation that indicates success.
Before Ansible 2.4 this was just 0 but since Ansible 2.4 this is both 0 and 3010.
A return code of 3010 usually means that a reboot is required, the reboot_required return value is set if the return code is 3010. Default is [0, 3010].
Optional
passwordThe password for user_name, must be set when user_name is.Optional
pathLocation of the package to be installed or uninstalled.
This package can either be on the local file system, network share or a url.
If the path is on a network share and the current WinRM transport doesn't support credential delegation, then user_name and user_password must be set to access the file.
There are cases where this file will be copied locally to the server so it can access it, see the notes for more info.
If state=present then this value MUST be set.
If state=absent then this value does not need to be set if product_id is.
Optional
product_idThe product id of the installed packaged.
This is used for checking whether the product is already installed and getting the uninstall information if state=absent.
You can find product ids for installed programs in the Windows registry editor either at HKLM:Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall or for 32 bit programs at HKLM:Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.
This SHOULD be set when the package is not an MSI, or the path is a url or a network share and credential delegation is not being used. The creates_* options can be used instead but is not recommended.
Optional
stateWhether to install or uninstall the package.
The module uses product_id and whether it exists at the registry path to see whether it needs to install or uninstall the package. Possible values are: absent, present. Default is present.
Optional
usernameUsername of an account with access to the package if it is located on a file share.
This is only needed if the WinRM transport is over an auth method that does not support credential delegation like Basic or NTLM.
Optional
validate_certsIf no, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.
Before Ansible 2.4 this defaulted to no. Possible values are: Yes, No. Default is Yes.
Optional
log_pathSpecifies the path to a log file that is persisted after an MSI package is installed or uninstalled.
When omitted, a temporary log file is used for MSI packages.
This is only valid for MSI files, use arguments for other package types.
Optional

Argument NameDescriptionRequired
hosthostname or IP of target. Optionally the port can be specified using :PORT. If multiple targets are specified using an array, the integration will use the configured concurrency factor for high performance.Required
stateUsed to specify the state of the partition. Use absent to specify if a partition should be removed and present to specify if the partition should be created or updated. Possible values are: absent, present. Default is present.Optional
drive_letterUsed for accessing partitions if disk_number and partition_number are not provided.
Use auto for automatically assigning a drive letter, or a letter A-Z for manually assigning a drive letter to a new partition. If not specified, no drive letter is assigned when creating a new partition.
Optional
disk_numberDisk number is mandatory for creating new partitions.
A combination of disk_number and partition_number can be used to specify the partition instead of drive_letter if required.
Optional
partition_numberUsed in conjunction with disk_number to uniquely identify a partition.Optional
partition_sizeSpecify size of the partition in B, KB, KiB, MB, MiB, GB, GiB, TB or TiB. Use -1 to specify maximum supported size.
Partition size is mandatory for creating a new partition but not for updating or deleting a partition.
The decimal SI prefixes kilo, mega, giga, tera, etc., are powers of 10^3 = 1000. The binary prefixes kibi, mebi, gibi, tebi, etc. respectively refer to the corresponding power of 2^10 = 1024. Thus, a gigabyte (GB) is 1000000000 (1000^3) bytes while 1 gibibyte (GiB) is 1073741824 (1024^3) bytes.
Optional
read_onlyMake the partition read only, restricting changes from being made to the partition.Optional
activeSpecifies if the partition is active and can be used to start the system. This property is only valid when the disk's partition style is MBR.Optional
hiddenHides the target partition, making it undetectable by the mount manager.Optional
offlineSets the partition offline.
Adding a mount point (such as a drive letter) will cause the partition to go online again.
Optional
mbr_typeSpecify the partition's MBR type if the disk's partition style is MBR.
This only applies to new partitions.
This does not relate to the partitions file system formatting. Possible values are: fat12, fat16, extended, huge, ifs, fat32.
Optional
gpt_typeSpecify the partition's GPT type if the disk's partition style is GPT.
This only applies to new partitions.

default Use the default search source. For many systems default is set to the Microsoft Windows Update catalog. Systems participating in Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Systems Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), or similar corporate update server environments may default to those managed update sources instead of the Windows Update catalog.
managed_server Use a managed server catalog. For environments utilizing Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Systems Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), or similar corporate update servers, this option selects the defined corporate update source.
windows_update Use the Microsoft Windows Update catalog. Possible values are: default, managed_server, windows_update. Default is default.
Optional
stateControls whether found updates are downloaded or installed or listed
This module also supports Ansible check mode, which has the same effect as setting state=searched. Possible values are: installed, searched, downloaded. Default is installed.

allow listA list of update titles or KB numbers that can be used to specify which updates are to be searched or installed.
If an available update does not match one of the entries, then it is skipped and not installed.
Each entry can either be the KB article or Update title as a regex according to the PowerShell regex rules.
The allow list is only validated on updates that were found based on category_names. It will not force the module to install an update if it was not in the category specified.
Optional
use_scheduled_taskWill not auto elevate the remote process with become and use a scheduled task instead.
Set this to yes when using this module with async on Server 2008, 2008 R2, or Windows 7, or on Server 2008 that is not authenticated with basic or credssp.
