I am trying to turn on the Display/Remote Display function on a windows server 2012 VM so that I can start it on boot as a background service VM. After installing the guest additions (the icon now appears in the tray of the task bar), the "error" icon still pops up when I select the checkbox with the VM running or not running, and then it will not enable the feature. I've rebooted everything multiple times to no avail.
I am see 5.1.24r117012 in the "Help About" for Virtual Box, and when I hover over the system tray icon on the windows server instance.
What have I missed?
5.1.24 guest additions not recognized after install

The Guest Additions (GAs) have absolutely nothing to do with the Remote Display functionality. You can have a DOS client controlled via RDP if you want, or any other VM for that matter. The RDP functionality is GAs independent.greggwon wrote:After installing the guest additions
What error would that be? If you see a triangle with an exclamation point, hover over that icon and an explanatory message will appear. What does it say?greggwon wrote:the "error" icon still pops up when I select the checkbox with the VM running or not running, and then it will not enable the feature.
