Virtualbox VM starting on window sartup

Postby stephen » Thu May 27, 2010 10:25 pm

I have a Windows 2008 SBS Server and I want to run The Anti Spam SMTP Proxy (ASSP) program in it's own Virtual Machine.
and I want that VM to autostart when Windows SBS 2008 is rebooted.

This web page has a few examples of running VirtualVox Virtual Machines as a Service.

and another

In Order to start a Sun VirtualBox Virtual Machine on Startup I created a batch script
"c:\Program Files\Sun\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" startvm WIN_assp

Then I went to Task Scheduler and added a task to run the above script at Server Startup.

These are web sites that I used to help in my research.
