Need information on creating service user to connect from the Agent server to Windows hosts for installing agents on remote

[Andrey Repin]

Greetings, Subramanya Narayanaswamy!

> I'm Trying to setup Cygwin installation on windows server 2012 and 2016.

That's how it's done.

Why?

What you want to use that user for? If you want to use it for maintenance,
just create a user and `passwd -R` it. Then you can use SSH key to login as
that user.
