[Resolved] The Best Way To Auto Run VMs on Host Start Up
Posted: 5. Dec 2018, 05:11
Hi all. I've just joined the forum and kinda need a little help.
I have these VMs and would like to run them every time the computer reboots.
What would be the best way to do this on Windows Server 2016?
Below are other conditions that needs to be met.
1. must run vms on startup
2. must run even when not logged on
3. when I do log on and open virtualbox the VM that are running should show that they are running.
Right now I have met condition 1 and 2 by using the method below
create a .cmd file that starts the vms
use task manager to run that file on startup even if not logged on
The problem with the solution I'm using above is it does not meet condition number 3.
When I log in and open Virtualbox. The VMs are not running but I know that they are since I can access them using Remote Desktop.
It would be great if you guys can help me with this. Maybe there's a preferred method to do this kind of thing.
Thanks a lot in advance.
