Hallo Bernd,

The user under which this script is running (bprager) is also member
of the local Administrators group?

Is the openssh version current?
Running ssh-host-config looks like different for me (openssh-7.2p2-1):

*** Query: Do you want to install sshd as a service?
*** Query: (Say "no" if it is already installed as a service) (yes/no) yes
