Ansible winrm

A way for ansible winrm even if not optimal way

You will be better to use https instead of http. I would use ssh if 2019 and above or install openssh on host

sudo apt-get install gcc libkrb5-dev krb5-user python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv

pythonn3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install ansible kerberos pywinrm

/etc/krb5.conf - CAPS ARE IMPORTANT https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41922521/using-ansible-on-windows-with-domain-user

[libdefaults]
        default_realm = EXAMPLE.COM  # domain must be captitalized

# The following krb5.conf variables are only for MIT Kerberos.
        kdc_timesync = 1
        ccache_type = 4
        forwardable = true
        proxiable = true

        fcc-mit-ticketflags = true
