OPENSSH WIN64 INSTALL
According to the Microsoft documentation that I could find, you need to install the latest bits from GitHub. Installing for Windows Server 2016 is a bit different. everything ran the same and in minutes PowerShell 7 and ssh remoting were ready to go. The only change I made was to the Write-Progress activity.
OPENSSH WIN64 WINDOWS 10
I was able to use the same deployment script I used with Windows 10 to install PowerShell 7 and sshd. Windows Server 2019 includes the OpenSSH.Server capability that you can install with Add-WindowsCapability.
OPENSSH WIN64 CODE
If you are using Windows Server 2019, you can use the same code I used with Windows 10, at least based on my experiences.
