Update Multiple VMs At Once
Let's say I have several VMs all running some version of Ubuntu, and they all need to go through some kind of OS update. Is it possible to update them all at once? I'd rather not have to open up each VM and update it manually.

Your best option will most likely be to use the VBoxManage guestcontrol command. You will need to wrap it in some kind of script / batch file that lists or can determine which guests the commands are to run on.
