Yes. Upgrade one machine, and build an msi that updates the files, then
distribute it via active directory.
Alternatively, use your preferred packaging format.
Failing that, update a machine, zip up the updated cygwin folder, and
distribute it across your network onto each machine, using administrator
rights to stop the ssh service before applying.
I should point out that there is no guarantee that permissions would
remain intact with either method.

into a slumber. Wake up! An eye is upon you, staring straight down and
keenly through, seeing all that you are and everything that you will
never be. Yes, an eye is upon you, an eye ready to blink. So face
forward, with arms wide open and mind reeling. Your future has
arrived... Are you ready to go?
