You created the AT job for the SYSTEM account; if you open up the
properties of the AT job, you could change the "Run as" to the
Administrator account.

Also, have you try to setup a one-time-only AT job to run ssh-keygen for
the SYSTEM account?
	at <time> /interactive ssh-keygen


 Hope this helps
