Release Summary

Release summary for v3.9.1, migrating modules from community.windows, adding information modules, and enhancing DNS record handling, template validation, and Windows Update reliability.

Minor Changes

• Add official support for Ansible 2.22
• Added win_dns_record_info to list Windows DNS records and retrieve records by owner and type.
• dsc3 - Add the parameters_file, system_root, ignore_settings_file, resource_path, chdir and executable options to support Microsoft DSC 3.3.
• dsc3 - Return reboot_required, restart_requirements, security_context and execution_type, surface DSC warning messages as Ansible warnings and include the DSC error message in msg when dsc fails.
• win_template - Add the validate option to run a command against the rendered template on the remote host before it is copied to dest. The path of the rendered template is substituted into the command in place of %s and is quoted for PowerShell so paths containing spaces are handled correctly. If the command fails dest is left untouched - #​50

Breaking Changes / Porting Guide

• dsc3 - Check mode now runs dsc config set --what-if instead of dsc config test so the reported changes align with what dsc would do. Group resources such as Microsoft.DSC/Group and Microsoft.DSC/Include do not support what-if and fail in check mode.

Bugfixes

• dsc3 - Map all DSC exit codes to a readable failure message and document remote_config_file as defaulting to false, matching the existing behaviour.
• dsc3 - Read the execution details from executionInformation with a fallback to the deprecated metadata.Microsoft.DSC property that DSC will remove in a future release.
• dsc3 - Walk the nested results of group resources such as Microsoft.DSC/Group and Microsoft.DSC/Include instead of reporting every group as changed.
• win_dns_record - Apply the requested TTL when creating SRV records and retain single-value lists during target-name normalization.
• win_dns_record - Clarify that allow_update_any applies only when creating records and remove the unrelated dynamic Active Directory object TTL warning.
• win_dns_record - Compare TXT values case-sensitively, normalize equivalent IP addresses, and avoid duplicate writes for repeated values.
• win_dns_record - Normalize zone-qualified record owners before querying or modifying DNS records.
• win_dns_record - Preserve DNS lookup errors and verify requested record values, TTL, aging, and SRV fields after mutations instead of reporting success when nothing was written.
• win_dns_record - Preserve TXT values such as Count and Keys that collide with PowerShell dictionary properties.
• win_dns_record - Validate SRV port, priority, and weight before changing records and include these fields consistently in normal and check-mode diffs.
• win_updates - Do not detect a reboot loop when Windows Update reissues an update with a newer revision.
