Ansible Playbook

Here is an example of removing old service no longer used on windows

Set your vars

vars.yaml

ansible_user: ''
ansible_password: ''
ansible_connection: winrm
ansible_port: 5985
ansible_winrm_scheme: http  # not recommended
ansible_winrm_transport: ntlm
ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore  # not recommended

playbookUninstallSensuCore.yaml

- name: Checking Services on Windows
  # connection: ansible.netcommon.network_cli
  gather_facts: false
  hosts: all
  vars_files:
    - vars.yaml
  tasks:
    - name: Sensucore service sensu-client exists on host
      win_service:
        name: sensu-client
      register: result
      failed_when: result['exists'] == false
    - name: Uninstall SensuCore
      throttle: 50
      ansible.builtin.script: ./uninstallSensuCore.ps1
      when: result is not failed
      # If facts #when: result is not failed and ansible_facts['os_family'] == "Windows"

test.inventory.yaml

all:
  hosts:
    myhost.example.com:

uninstallSensuCore.ps1

$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"
Stop-Service sensu-client  # you usually don't need to stop this but just in case
$64bitnode = 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall'
$32bitnode = 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall'
$Uninstaller = Get-ChildItem -Path $64bitnode,$32bitnode  | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -eq "Sensu" }
$Uninstaller | ForEach { Start-Process -FilePath MsiExec.exe -ArgumentList "/X$($PSItem.PSChildName) /Q" -Wait }
sc.exe delete "sensu-client"

/usr/bin/ansible-playbook -f 100 -i test1.inventory.yaml test2.inventory.yaml playbookUninstallSensuCore.yaml  # fork -f default is usually  5

throttle and serial are options in runbook to limit but not sure how well they work.
