Status 0xc00000bb is STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED. That doesn't make sense, at least not on 2008 R2 with 64 bit Cygwin. Are you trying to login via sshd with a local account or a domain account? I tried to reproduce your issue with Cygwin 3.0.2 on a Windows 10 machine. I rebooted the machine and did not login locally or via RDP. Sshd login worked in both cases (local/domain account). Can you test this again, in particular with installing Cygwin 3.0.2? In the meantime, I need some time to set up a Windows 2008 R2 machine for testing.
