>When the script is run as a windows service, the user that's calling the script is SYSTEM. Inside the script is a call to ssh client with the required parameters. I pass it the absolute path of the id_rsa file. The issue seems to be that user SYSTEM is not the owner of id_rsa file so it is being asked for a passphrase. On the contrary, if I add the batch script to startup programs, then no passphrase is asked and I am logged in right away. The problem here is that the command prompt window stays on the screen. This is something I wanted to avoid to begin with.


Ah, OK.  Yeah, that would be a problem.  I had thought you had said you
were running this service as the user you wanted to 'ssh' as but I guess
I didn't.  You could try that.  That should help (and keep you from needing 
to specify the 'id_rsa' file.


>I haven't gotten around to start the server in debug mode since I haven't found a suitable time to bring down the ssh server.


Yeah, I wouldn't bother at this point.  I think you've found the issue.
