Richard,

IIRC, this is an inherent limitation of passwordless authentication on
Windows -- the token created with passwordless authentication will not be
accepted (trusted) on the network server.  There really isn't a good
solution to this, other than, perhaps, running two ssh daemons -- one as
LocalSystem for regular ssh access, and one as DomainAdmin (on a different
port) for passthru.
