SUMMARY
Executing a task using ansible.windows.win_updates module over a vmware_tools connection results in a failure.
Note: I have seen test runs of the same task complete a few times, however during my testing there's been over 90% failure with same error code running on different test VMs.
Running the same task over a winrm connection completes without issues.
There seems to be some sort of bug in the iterraction of win_updates, vmware_tools and pyvmomi.
