Problems with win_mapped_drive not using credentials

I have been working with @jborean93 offline and he suggested I enter a ticket.

The problem I am having is getting win_mapped_drive to see the credentials I entered using win_credential and use them to map the drive.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE


  - name: Mapping Drives
    block:
    - name: Save credentials
      win_credential:
        name: 192.168.0.168
        type: domain_password
        username: cross  # Also tried '192.168.0.168\cross'
        secret: '{{ synology_family_pass }}'
        state: present

    - name: Music
      win_mapped_drive:
        letter: M
        path: \\192.168.0.168\music
        state: present
    become: yes
    become_method: runas
    vars:
      ansible_become: yes
      ansible_become_method: runas
      ansible_become_user: '{{ ansible_user }}'
      ansible_become_password: '{{ ansible_password }}'

does not work, but the below does work:

  - name: Mapping Drives
    block:
    - name: Save credentials
      win_credential:
        name: 192.168.0.168
        type: domain_password
        username: cross
        secret: '{{ synology_family_pass }}'
        state: present

    - name: run net use to setup mapped drives
      win_shell: |
        if (!(Test-Path M:)) { NET USE M: \\192.168.0.168\music /PERSISTENT:YES }
        if (!(Test-Path P:)) { NET USE P: \\192.168.0.168\photo /PERSISTENT:YES }
        if (!(Test-Path V:)) { NET USE V: \\192.168.0.168\video /PERSISTENT:YES }

    become: yes
    become_method: runas
    vars:
      ansible_become: yes
      ansible_become_method: runas
      ansible_become_user: '{{ ansible_user }}'
      ansible_become_password: '{{ ansible_password }}'

EXPECTED RESULTS

ACTUAL RESULTS

I have examined the password in the credential provider using CredentialsFileView from nirsoft.net and it is correct. The variable 'synology_family_pass' is from an ansible vault. I have tested a manual local mapping as per the cmdkey & netuse and it works fine. I eventually switched to using net use and it works fine.
