I'll try changing the ssh server on the windows machine. Any suggestions? I was using FreeSSHd because it was the only one I tried which worked with domain accounts for password-based authentication. All others worked only with local computer accounts. My domain controller is a Samba server but everything else (including a MS SQL Server and an ASP app) use my domain accounts fine.
