FlexDeploy utilizes OpenSSH within a Unix shell for communicating to all endpoints. For Microsoft Windows, Cygwin is required to provide the Unix-like environment containing the required SSH libraries. The following instructions can be used to install the Cygwin on a Windows client.

- If you installed CYGWIN sshd as cyg_server user, it should be able to allow Endpoint connection as any user on the server, but that may not work always. In this situation you can try these options.
- Make sure that cyg_server account is added to Replace a process level token policy using gpedit.msc. Reference - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn221975(v=ws.11).aspx, https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc957225.aspx
- Another option is to run CYGWIN sshd as user that you want to connect as from FlexDeploy Endpoint. Here are the steps to make that change.
- Make sure the account you want to connect as is Administrator account. See my example of flexuser that I used instead of cyg_server
- Stop CYGWIN sshd service.
- Edit CYGWIN sshd service and make it use user that you want to connect as from FlexDeploy Endpoint. See example below.
- Click OK.
- Run Cygwin terminal as Administrator.
- Run ssh-host-config option and follow prompts.
- Now start CYGWIN sshd service.
- Make sure the account you want to connect as is Administrator account. See my example of flexuser that I used instead of cyg_server
