The easiest way is to follow the ssh-host-config script in creating a special account:
net user cron_server <passwd> /add /yes net localgroup <administrators_group_name> cron_server /add editrights -a SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege -u cron_server editrights -a SeCreateTokenPrivilege -u cron_server editrights -a SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege -u cron_server editrights -a SeServiceLogonRight -u cron_server mkpasswd -l -u cron_server >> /etc/passwd
For security reasons: editrights -a SeDenyInteractiveLogonRight -u cron_server editrights -a SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u cron_server editrights -a SeDenyRemoteInteractiveLogonRight -u cron_server
And then create a cron service using that account: cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D -u cron_server -w <passwd>
I've tried this and it doesn't work. The cron service starts and shuts down immediately with an error. In the Windows syslog i found:
[...] CYGWIN crond : PID 288 : starting service `CYGWIN crond' failed: execv: 1, Operation not permitted.
