'Windows firewall rule delete with ansible
I am currently working on replacing my setup PS scripts with Ansible playbooks for Windows server setup.
There is a module community.windows.win_firewall_rule that allows you to edit, create and delete Windows firewall rules. Creating new rules and editing existing ones works fine.
What I can't do is delete existing (built-in) rules, e.g. "Xbox Game UI" or Cortana.
I haven't found an example where someone deleted a firewall rule. But from the documentation, I would guess that you only need the name and state absent to remove an existing firewall rule.
Or is it not possible to remove a built-in firewall rule? As an administrator in the GUI or via PS it's no problem to delete these and editing built-in rules via Ansible works fine.
What am I doing wrong ? The execution of the play does not fail, it just comes back ok without changing anything.
- name: delete firewall rule Xbox Game UI
community.windows.win_firewall_rule:
name: "Xbox Game UI"
state: absent
# direction: out
