could you help me ?
my sshd version is :

PS C:\Program Files\OpenSSH> .\sshd.exe -d
debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_for_Windows_9.5, LibreSSL 3.8.2

debug1: rexec_argv[1]='-d'
debug1: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0.
Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.

i can't assign user policies such as: "Log in as a service", which I did not.

.the error also depends on the parameters of the service, currently it is configured in this way:

I don’t get the same error if I log in locally :

could you help me ?

Can you run the following from an elevated PowerShell session:

# limit ssh folder permissions to full control for system and local group administrators, and read for authenticated users
$directoryPath = "$env:ProgramData\ssh"
$acl = Get-Acl -Path $directoryPath
$sddlString = “O:BAD:PAI(A;OICI;FA;;;SY)(A;OICI;FA;;;BA)(A;OICI;0x1200a9;;;AU)”
$securityDescriptor = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.RawSecurityDescriptor $sddlString
$acl.SetSecurityDescriptorSddlForm($securityDescriptor.GetSddlForm("All"))
Set-Acl -Path $directoryPath -AclObject $acl

# limit log folder permissions to full control for system and local group administrators, and read for authenticated users
$directoryPath = "$env:ProgramData\ssh\logs"
$acl = Get-Acl -Path $directoryPath
$sddlString = “O:BAD:PAI(A;OICI;FA;;;SY)(A;OICI;FA;;;BA)(A;OICI;0x1200a9;;;AU)”
$securityDescriptor = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.RawSecurityDescriptor $sddlString
$acl.SetSecurityDescriptorSddlForm($securityDescriptor.GetSddlForm("All"))
Set-Acl -Path $directoryPath -AclObject $acl

I will see as soon as, if the service configuration points to

 C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\sshd

And no to

C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\

awesome !! it's solved the problem of starting the service sshd in windows after create the logs directory for local account , but no for account

trying to modify the given script one realizes that one can not make exceptions for Administrators and System
fr:
en essayant de modifier le script donné on se rend compte que l'on peut pas faire des exceptions pour Administrateurs et System
