For the Windows group you can configure the login method for Windows as needed to use RDP. You could have two plays in the playbook that target the different groups in the "hosts" tag. - name: reboot windows hosts hosts: windows_hosts tasks: ... do the reboots via winrm - name: reboot linux hosts hosts: linux_hosts tasks: ... do the reboots via SSH Walter -- Walter Rowe, Division Chief Infrastructure Services Division Mobile: 202.355.4123 On Aug 28, 2024, at 7:56 AM, Thirumalai Raja A <athirumalai1...@gmail.com<mailto:athirumalai1...@gmail.com>> wrote: hi all, We are using AWX to perform ansible jobs. I need help because I wanted to apply a restart schedule for a set of linux and windows vms. for linux we have a local account with ssh key and for windows we have a service account of AD. So how can I run my single job handling windows and linux hosts in single playbook? (i can only add once machine credential in a AWX template).
