This works for me on the 2k8r2, 2k12ms, and 2k12dc servers on AWS.

Would it be possible to re-submit this or move this PR now that the ansible repos have been merged?

Hi there is a feature freeze for ansible 2.3 very shortly, so if you are able to resubmit or move this PR in the next few days it might still be possible to get it included in ansible 2.3.

@defionscode I just realised you might not have seen my messages above regarding this pull request as I hadn't mentioned your github handle. Would be great to try and get this in before the 2.3 code freeze next week if you can spare the time to move your PR.
