Default VirtualBox configuration in MSI

Description

I need to preconfigure some global defaults for my users.

These are

  • GUI/SuppressMessages=all
  • GUI/UpdateDate=never
  • defaultMachineFolder="D:\Virtual Machines"

Updates are controlled via AD with MSI deployment. Can you add this as registry keys to the MSI setup, please? I explicitly need a way to set GLOBAL settings that are enforced to all users.

Why don't you use VBoxManage after the package is installed?

This seems to end with a "per user" config and not "per machine". We are using Roaming Profiles and I need to preconfigure this "per machine" where VirtualBox has been installed. This global setting need to be inheritted to the users that may logon to the computer (pool computers).

The best would be if the setting is totally locked in the GUI with a GPO ADMX file and the user cannot change settings I preconfigure.

Aside I think I do not like to walk to every computer / 10.000 users to run commands manually. This need to be done on install.

Do you have an Oracle support contract for "Oracle VM VirtualBox"?

No, we are not using any payed Oracle product.

Then your request has the same "gravity" as anyone else's, i.e. get in line... :D
