I have a 2003 template with a working Cygwin sshd install. I deploy vms via script from that template and when they are brought online the Cygwin prompt is now '#' instead of a '$' and I cannot start sshd. Both Cygwin sshd service are configured with the cyg_server account to start them. And as far as I can tell the only difference is one machine was deployed via script from the working template and I don't know why the permissions are changing for Cygwin when deploying these servers. For all intensive purposed the permissions are identical.

have you configured ssh demon with "sshd_config" ? this is always a good start :
