microsoft.ad.membership could not reboot after join workgroup

[ngocnd1]

Hi all,

After join workgroup I could not reboot due to incorrect ntlm, can any help?

[ngocnd1]

My code as example on ansible document

- name: join host to workgroup with manual reboot in later task
  microsoft.ad.membership:
    workgroup_name: mywg
    domain_admin_user: '{{ win_domain_admin_user }}'
    domain_admin_password: '{{ win_domain_admin_password }}'
    state: workgroup
  register: workgroup_res

- name: reboot host after joining workgroup
  ansible.windows.win_reboot:
  when: workgroup_res.reboot_required

What credentials are you using to connect to the host, if you are going from a domain to a workgroup then it needs to be a local account as per https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/microsoft/ad/membership_module.html#parameter-reboot

If changing from a domain to workgroup, the connection account must be a local user that can connect to the host after it has unjoined the domain.

You can also try using reboot: true in the microsoft.ad.membership task rather than a separate win_reboot one. This will ensure the host is rebooted in the same connection as unjoining the domain rather than after which can be problematic if the host is not in a way that will allow remote connections.
