I've followed this guide to setup Ansible for use it with Windows Server.

But when I try to connect I obtain an error. The user used is Domain Administrator and has permissions to connect to that remote server.

$ klist

$ ansible -m setup web -u [email protected]

trr-pp-wa1 | UNREACHABLE! => {

}

Can anyone help me?

Many thanks

Two things:

Assuming you're using the latest pywinrm (0.2.0), did you install with the kerberos option (eg pip install pywinrm[kerberos])?

Also, if that doesn't cover it, try adding ansible_winrm_transport=kerberos to your inventory vars for that host. Newer versions are less forceful about assuming a particular authtype from the username (to allow for use of LiveID, etc).
