Ansible win_scheduled_task how to start a task immediately

Question

Help with advice please!

There is a program located in the path:

C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\AdskLicensing\Current\helper\AdskLicensingInstHelper.exe

And it must be run with the parameters:

register -pk 829L1 -pv 2020.0.0.F -cf "\\ srv\deploy$\RVT20\Img\x64\RVT\RevitConfig.pit" -el EN

I decided to do it through the task scheduler, but did not find in the documentation how to start the task immediately after it was added.

- name: recover ADSKLic Service
      win_scheduled_task:
        name: ADSK
        description: RecADSK
        actions:
        - path: 'C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\AdskLicensing\Current\helper\AdskLicensingInstHelper.exe'
          arguments: register -pk 829L1 -pv 2020.0.0.F -cf "\\srv\deploy$\RVT20\Img\x64\RVT\RevitConfig.pit" -el EN
        triggers:
        - type: registration
        frequency: once
        state: present
        enabled: yes
        username: SYSTEM
      tags: rev, adsk, task

The task is being added, but how to start it immediately after adding it?

It may of course be easier to run .exe via win_command or raw but it doesn't work for me ...

Answer 1

The following tasks create a scheduled task, execute it immediately and remove it again:

- name: recover ADSKLic Service Trough task scheduler
  win_scheduled_task:
    name: ADSK
    username: SYSTEM
    actions:
      - path: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\AdskLicensing\Current\helper\AdskLicensingInstHelper.exe'
        arguments: register -pk 829L1 -pv 2020.0.0.F -cf "\\srv\deploy$\RVT20\Img\x64\RVT\RevitConfig.pit" -el EN
      # Remove this action if the task shouldn't be deleted on completion
      - path: cmd.exe
        arguments: /c schtasks.exe /Delete /TN "ADSK" /F
    triggers:
      - type: registration
  tags: task
- name: Wait for the scheduled task to complete
  win_scheduled_task_stat:
    name: ADSK
  register: task_stat
  until: (task_stat.state is defined and task_stat.state.status != "TASK_STATE_RUNNING") or (task_stat.task_exists == False)
  retries: 7
  delay: 5
  tags: task
