SSH into Linux Subsystem for Windows
  • In /etc/ssh/sshd_conf, set UsePrivilegeSeparation to no
  • In /etc/ssh/sshd_conf, temporarily enable plaintext passwords
  • In /etc/ssh/sshd_conf, change port (e.g. to 23) to avoid confusion with Windows SSH server
  • sudo service ssh restart
  • Add alternative port as a new rule to Windows firewall
  • On the client: ssh-copy-id user@server
  • In /etc/ssh/sshd_conf, re-disable plaintext passwords

To fix Could not load host key ... error:

  • sudo ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key

Automated deployments of Windows Server 2016

This is a draft that will ultimately be blogged later. If you're seeing this after April 2017 it's probably out of date.

Making a pre-updated Windows Server 2016 ISO

Prerequisites

  1. Install the Windows Assessment and Deployment Toolkit
  2. Download a Windows Server 2016 ISO such as the trial here - TODO
  3. Download the latest cumulative update
