Before configuring `DefaultShell`, ensure the following prerequisites are met
- OpenSSH installation path is in system PATH.
- If not already present, amend system PATH and restart sshd service.
***
Follow these steps:
- On the server side, configure the default ssh shell in the windows registry.
- `Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenSSH\DefaultShell` - full path of the shell executable
- `Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenSSH\DefaultShellCommandOption` (optional) - switch that the configured default shell requires to execute a command, immediately exit and return to the calling process. By default this is `-c`.
