The manual key creation doesn't do any harm, because the problem is
obviously on the server side. To see this I did all the testing running
the client on a remote machine, no difference in symptoms.

I don't quite understand: what answers should I give to the script?
If there is any question which should not be answered by "yes", please
explain which question and what should be the answer.

As a matter of fact even with the "-y" flag the script asks for the
password for the new user, "xx" is the "proper password" I'm using
(there are no seciruty concerns in my setup)

I do have it, here is the very first line from the file:
root:S-1-5-32-544:0:

It seems to me that SYSTEM user needs a security capability to call
"seteuid". Being a member of "Administartors" group doesn't seem to be
enough Alas I don't know which capability needs to be added
I found a UI program called "Local Security Policy", but I don't know
which of those properties is/are needed for "seteuid" call

I do it every day many times anyway, including fresh windows
installation (as I described in one of the previous messages). Very
frustrating the whole business.
