After enabling the OpenSSH server on Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2022 Core instances you will
need to fetch the SSH keys of your project using `Scw-Fetch-SSH-Keys`. When running this command for the
first time, you will see the following error message displayed :

```
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Scw-Fetch-SSH-Keys
Remove-Item : Cannot find path 'C:\ProgramData\ssh\administrators_authorized_keys' because it does not exist.
At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\ScalewayEcosystem\0.0.10.3\ScalewayEcosystem.psm1:54 char:2
+ Remove-Item $authorized_keys
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (C:\ProgramData\...authorized_keys:String) [Remove-Item], ItemNotFoundEx
ception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RemoveItemCommand

processed file: c:\ProgramData\ssh\administrators_authorized_keys
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files
```
The ssh keys will still be fetched, but this message may appear again if the file
C:\ProgramData\ssh\administrators_authorized_keys if deleted.

To avoid this message, simply update the `ScalewayEcosystem` package using the folllowing
commands :
```
Register-PSRepository -Name NuGet -SourceLocation https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json -PublishLocation https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json -InstallationPolicy Trusted
Update-Module ScalewayEcosystem
Remove-Module ScalewayEcosystem
Import-Module ScalewayEcosystem
```
