I just built a machine using a Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 32-bit OEM DVD this weekend. Once Vista was installed and activated, I discovered that the Administrator account was disabled by default. I did some work using the administrator-level account I created during installation, but I didn't like this approach -- I wanted the real Administrator account. So, I STFW and enabled it using the Local Users and Groups MMC console: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766343.aspx I finished up with the real Administrator account, including installing Cygwin and sshd. I made the changes noted above plus another (/var?), and had the script create an account to run sshd. sshd works.
