Share code between custom plugins?
For example the ansible.windows collections has a plugin_utils/_quote.py file https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.windows/blob/main/plugins/plugin_utils/_quote.py. It's then imported by some filter plugins with https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.windows/blob/5b044e12c93f57a26563264690c633aef97036d6/plugins/filter/quote.py#L11-L15

Finally started giving Ansible a try and started scanning all Windows computers for Domain Administrator use – in seconds 💪
I'm no expert here, but maybe you're better off using the ansible windows collection instead of just invoking Powershell, as you'll get to rely on all the functionality Ansible provides like checking the outcome, changes, handling errors, providing consistent feedback, etc., instead of being responsible for that yourself. Like, actually use it for more than firing off scripts remotely

win_shell: jinja templates and calling an advanced function from a PowerShell script. Is this possible??
I've tried the workarounds provided here but I haven't had any success. I'm persisting with this approach rather than the more tedious copying the script to the server, executing, and then cleaning up etc. as Ansible does the house keeping for me this way. 😅

Is Powershell DSC still worth learning?
If you do find any issues we certainly would like to hear about it and try and fix the problem if we can. You can submit an issue with the details at https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.windows.

ps1 and ansible
It is but Parse-Args are part of the legacy module utils. Have a look at win_environment for a decent module example. It uses the newer AnsibleModule style that is good to use today. You can ignore the AddType module util if you don’t need that functionality (it doesn’t look like you do).

Cant seem to get ansible to install the 3cx desktop app
Which version of Ansible? See https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.windows/issues/138. This may or may not be your issue.

Ansible.windows.Win_updates RemoteSigned
Just opened https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.windows/pull/320 which should solve this problem for you. If you do get a chance it would be great if you could test it out in your environment to see if it solves it for you.

Ansible Windows Throwing Error On Setup Module
The issue you are coming across is https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.windows/issues/29 which has been fixed in the ansible.windows collection. The fix was very intrusive as it required a massive rewrite in how the module gathered facts, essentially stopped using WMI/CIM. I believe these changes are present in Ansible 2.10.+ but not Ansible 2.9.. The issue here is that WMI/CIM does not allow you to get instances unless you are either an Administrator or are running an Interactive logon. For WinRM users are no longer running an interactive logon so the old code only worked for Administrators.
