Description

Not sure if this is a bug or something which has not yet been implemented yet. If the latter it should probably be documented.

I just tried to call a host.file(filename).exists against a windows machine and it failed when it tried to call uname which will obviously fail..

INFO:testinfra:RUN CommandResult(command=u'uname -s', exit_status=1, stdout=None, stderr="'uname' is not recognized as an internal or external command,\r\noperable program or batch file.\r\n")

Which methods are supported when using the winrm backend?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the host.file() method works for the winrm backend and identify where the uname command is called. Consider adding a platform check to skip the uname call on Windows or use an alternative command.
