Try using this correct indentation

---

• hosts: windows
  tasks:
  • name: Copy file from switch to Windows server
    win_copy:
    src: "/path/file.txt"
    dest: 'D:\config' # Use double backslashes to escape properly
    delegate_to: localhost # Run this task on the Ansible control machine

Then ensure the following:

• The ansible_user and ansible_password variables in your inventory file are set correctly with valid Windows credentials.
• Windows Remote Management (WinRM) is properly configured on the Windows server for Ansible to communicate with it. Make sure that WinRM is enabled and the necessary firewall rules are in place on the Windows server.
• You have the IP address (10.x.x.x) of your Windows server correctly specified in the inventory file.
