Chocolatey
Install Chocolatey
Install with PowerShell...
Note: With PowerShell, you must ensure Get-ExecutionPolicy is not Restricted. We suggest using Bypass to bypass the policy to get things installed or AllSigned for quite a bit more security.
Run:
Get-ExecutionPolicy.
If it returns Restricted, then run:
Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned # or Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process
Then run:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

Installing OpenSSH on Windows 10 https://dejulia489.github.io/2017-05-07-InstallingOpenSSHOnWindows10/
Installs to:
C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\openssh
Reinstall:
choco install openssh --params "/SSHServerFeature" --force
Install opensshd
Script:
"C:\Program Files\OpenSSH-Win64\install-sshd.ps1"
Install with:
powershell -file "C:\Program Files\OpenSSH-Win64\install-sshd.ps1"
Generate host private keys:
"C:\Program Files\OpenSSH-Win64\ssh-keygen.exe" -A
Access to those hosts private keys
Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Program Files\OpenSSH-Win64\ssh_host_*_key' | % {
$acl = get-acl $_.FullName
$ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("NT Service\sshd", "Read", "Allow")
$acl.SetAccessRule($ar)
Set-Acl $_.FullName $acl
}
TODO:
- need to comment out these to not break:
#Match Group administrators # AuthorizedKeysFile __PROGRAMDATA__/ssh/administrators_authorized_keys
Firewall:
New-NetFirewallRule -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 22 -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -DisplayName SSH
Auto start service after reboot:
Set-Service SSHD -StartupType Automatic Set-Service SSH-Agent -StartupType Automatic
Might need to copy default config:
dir "C:\Program Files\OpenSSH-Win64\sshd_config" # if not found... Copy-Item "C:\Program Files\OpenSSH-Win64\sshd_config_default" "C:\Program Files\OpenSSH-Win64\sshd_config"
Modify the Password Authentication and add the Powershell Subsystem
$FilePath = "C:\Program Files\OpenSSH-Win64\sshd_config"
$FileData = (Get-Content $FilePath).Replace('#PasswordAuthentication yes','PasswordAuthentication yes')
# $FileData += 'Subsystem powershell C:\Program Files\PowerShell\6.0.0-alpha.18\powershell.exe -sshs -NoLogo -NoProfile'
$FileData += 'Subsystem powershell C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\powershell.exe -sshs -NoLogo -NoProfile'
$FileData | Out-File $FilePath -Force
Restart service:
Restart-Service sshd
NOTE: If service fails to start, check event log.
Remote to Linux server:
Enter-PSSession -HostName $LinuxServerIP -UserName administrator
Query service:
sc query sshd
Install ptime
- "ptime will run any specified command and parameters, and measure the execution time (run time) in seconds, accurate to 5 millisecond or better. It is an automatic process timer, or program timer used for benchmark purposes."
similar to linux 'time' command to time commands'
choco install ptime

GnuWin
- "The GnuWin project provides Win32-versions of GNU tools, or tools with a similar open source licence. The ports are native ports, that is they rely only on libraries provided with any standard 32-bits MS-Windows operating system. Unlike CygWin or Msys, native ports do not rely on some kind of Unix emulation, so that there is no need to install additional emulation libraries."
