I had the same "symptoms" recently, I deleted all /etc/ssh_host_* files 
and did a "ssh-host-config -y" and discovered various permission 
problems on /var, /etc/passwd and /etc/group. This was on Windows XP.

What you can do is:

  - net stop sshd
  - cyrunsrv -R sshd
  - rm -f /etc/ssh_host_*
  - ssh-host-config -y => might display some useful error messages

I'm not familiar with sshd under Windows 2003 Server but this procedure 
fixes almost all my sshd issues with Windows XP.

Regards,

Nicolas
