You can install an sshd service under a user account. Users logging into
that service as the user running the service will have a complete
Windows authentication token.
There are some caveats, though. You can only login as the user running
the service. So, if you need to run commands on the remote Windows
machine as a number of different users, you'd need to set up a separate
sshd service for each user. (Note this is not a restriction on the
number of users on the linux box that can invoke remote commands on the
Windows machine, only on the number of users those remote commands are
run as.)
If you do this, each server needs to be on a separate port and each
server will need its on configuration file and host keys (and you'll
have to specify the configuration file in the command-line of the
service when you install it). Also, you'll need to disable privilege
separation.
BTW, you can still run a server as SYSTEM (on some port) for more
general-purpose remote access.

There's a lesson that I need to remember
When everything is falling apart
In life, just like in loving
There's such a thing as trying to hard
You've gotta sing
Like you don't need the money
Love like you'll never get hurt
You've gotta dance
Like nobody's watching
It's gotta come from the heart
If you want it to work.
