Hey all,
I've been given a project and I can't seem to figure it out.
Basically I have to be able to start VB Machine on boot up of a windows machine with out user login.
I've gotten it going as a task but that's not the way they want it, they want it installed as a service. I know that there is a way to do it, but everything i've tried like NSSM (Non-Sucking Service Manager) and AlwaysUp just aren't viable solutions.
I'm desperate for any help one could give. Normally I can figure these things out, but i've got a deadline looming and could use some help from the technical community.
Starting as a service with out user login

Re: Starting as a service with out user login
Virtualbox has an autostart function, see https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08. ... -autostart. I have not tried this myself.
Also see this 3rd-party app viewtopic.php?f=32&t=8595 which runs the VMs without a login. I have used this before with a 5.x.y Virtualbox and it worked well
