(Windows 2003 and service being run as sshd_server user)? I've installed and sshd con a w2k3 server. sshd service is running as user sshd_server, because: (extract of ssh-host-config script) echo "You appear to be running Windows 2003 Server or later. On 2003 and" echo "later systems, it's not possible to use the LocalSystem account" echo "if sshd should allow passwordless logon (e. g. public key authentication)." echo "If you want to enable that functionality, it's required to create a new" echo "account 'sshd_server' with special privileges, which is then used to run" echo "the sshd service under." I'm trying to run a silent installation on that server through an ssh session, but installation hangs. I suspect it is related to some kind of interaction with the desktop. As sshd service is not being run as Local System Account, "Enable Dektop Interaction" option is greyed-out in Service Manager Applet. Thanks in advaned.
