Now you should be able to use ansible psexec module to execute command on this windows machine.

The document of ansible module psexec says: * Runs a remote command from a Linux host to a Windows host without WinRM being set up. * Can be run on the Ansible controller to bootstrap Windows hosts to get them ready for WinRM. So we can get this windows machine ready for WinRM using psexec module

1. ansible module psexec requires:
   1. pypsexec
   2. smbprotocol[kerberos] for optional Kerberos authentication
2. psexec can be installed by pip, you don't need Kerberos authentication for now. bash ansible-galaxy collection install community.windows pip install pypsexec
