In order for Ansible to manage your windows machines, you will have to enable PowerShell remoting configured.
To automate setup of WinRM, you can run `this PowerShell script <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/examples/scripts/ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1>`_ on the remote machine.

Admins may wish to modify this setup slightly, for instance to increase the timeframe of
the certificate.
The example script accepts a few arguments which Admins may choose to use to modify the default setup slightly, which might be appropriate in some cases.
Pass the -CertValidityDays option to customize the expiration date of the generated certificate.
powershell.exe -File ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1 -CertValidityDays 100
Pass the -SkipNetworkProfileCheck switch to configure winrm to listen on PUBLIC zone interfaces. (Without this option, the script will fail if any network interface on device is in PUBLIC zone)
powershell.exe -File ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1 -SkipNetworkProfileCheck
