Why the pinging process doesn't stop after playbook is finished? - iis

Question

My playbook has to delete all files form the IIS sit folder, replace them with other files and then ping the localhost website. The pinging process doesn't seem to stop after playbook is finished. When I run playbook for the first time everything seems to work fine. But when I try to run it for the second time I get error while deleting files:
TASK [Delete files from site files ALL]
**************************************** fatal: [10.156.5.245]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to delete
\file.dll: Access to the path '\file.dll' is
denied."}
name: Delete files from site files ALL
win_file:
path: {{ some path }}
state: absent
name: Ping the localhost website
win_uri:
url: http://localhost:48103/ping
run_once: true
Am I using win_uri wrong or is it some other issue?
After some thinking obout answer to my question I've come up with the idea of restarting the IIS App Pool in which I have my site. It's a workaround and I'm still loking for other answers :)

Please try with admin access using become.

Answer 2

try to use the process monitor to capture the access denied exception.
download link.
after downloading extract the folder and open the process monitor application.
Process Monitor starts capturing events automatically. Stop capturing by clicking Capture button (CTRL + E) in the toolbar.
From the Filter menu, and click Filter.
In the Process Monitor Filter dialog, click the Reset button. This is to clear filters.
Then, set the filtering options as the one below, to catch specifically "Access Denied" entries.
Click Add, and click OK.
Start capturing by enabling the Capture toggle button in the toolbar.
reproduce the problem and check the process monitor entry.
