Greetings, Subramanya Narayanaswamy!

> I'm Trying to setup Cygwin installation on windows server 2012 and 2016.
> I'm installing latest Cygwin version with packages openssh,openssl,zip,unzip.

> When I run Cygwin.bat file and try to configure SSH host service to connect
> from Agent server on this windows host, I don't get a prompt to create
> CYGWIN user at all. By default it is taking the SYSTEM default user for authentication.

That's how it's done.

> But I want create a new Cygwin(let's say agentuser user) using the command
> ssh-host-config by running the Cygwin.bat file.

Why?

> Could you please help on how to setup separate user with right SSH
> permission please? It would be great help. 

What you want to use that user for? If you want to use it for maintenance,
just create a user and `passwd -R` it. Then you can use SSH key to login as
that user.
