-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Luis,
That sounds like a good start. Try logging in to a VM that has been deployed but where cygwin sshd is still set to manual, and then open a command shell run as administrator. In that command shell, run c:\cygwin\home\root\VCL\Scripts\update_cygwin.cmd That is what should be starting cygwin sshd and setting it to run automatically. Look over the output for any errors. You should see lots of "ERRORLEVEL: 0". When I ran it, I did see one "ERRORLEVEL: 1", but that was when it tried to delete the 'VCL Update Cygwin' scheduled task, which shouldn't be preventing cygwin sshd from getting started.
