Description
I have a server using Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2, and a virtual machine on it (Debian).
However, I'd like for the virtual machine to be started on boot, without user log in.
So, I used Task Scheduler for this (also tryied nssm and pstools), but no success.
The virtual machine DOES START, however, when I log in and open VirtualBox, it does not detect the virtual machine running, so it's quite troublesome as I am not planning on RDP or SSH to the guest.
If I do start the VM with VBoxManage while logged in, all works ok. If I do start the VM with Task Scheduler (admin nor non-admin) it does not work.
I've also reinstalled VirtualBox and ran it without success.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
This is not a bug, this is wrong configuration on your part.
It's usually better and faster, if problems like this one (configuration) get first addressed in the forums (https://forums.virtualbox.org/). More than 95% of the issues are resolved over there, which keeps the developers focusing on the bug fixes and enhancements, and there is no need for another ticket to keep track of.
So, if you can, please open a new thread in the VirtualBox on Windows Hosts section.
