If you want to follow along with Microsoft's own effort/inability to
get this feature working in OpenSSH, see:

1) https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues/996
2) https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues/998

There is a comment in the latter where I mention SetTokenInformation,
which would allow OpenSSH to duplicate the functionality of PsExec or
parts of the Windows Management Interface.
