Paramiko ssh to windows with ConnectionResetError: [WinError 10054] - paramiko

Question

My code below works fine with Linux servers but the script doesn't work with Windows 2008 Server with OpenSSH installed. I have also tested to ssh with teraterm with the same username, password, ipaddress and port22 it worked fine as well.
I am getting the below error.
C:\Users\>python auto-ssh_v1.py

You can try to run paramiko line by line to ssh to your windows server and see the trace.
Hope that will help,
