Hi

I'm new to this forum, and recently started working on VirtualBox, which I think is very good.
But I got one problem.

I have this scenario:
Host: Windows 2003 Server
Guests: Windows 2000 Pro
VirtualBox has been installed and configured as Administrator, and my VMs work just as expected.
Now I need to access these virtual machines from unprivileged users (members of group Users) and I wanted to use VBoxSDL to do it.

Unfortunately I do not find a way to make it work.
My xml files and vdi files are kept in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.VirtualBox.

If I try to run VBoxVDL from one of these users, I will get this error message:
C:\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox>VBoxSDL --startvm my-vm
Sun VirtualBox SDL GUI version 2.2.2

Failed to create VirtualBox object! Error info:
Could not lock the settings file 'C:\Documents and Settings\user1\.VirtualBox\VirtualBox.xml' (VERR_SHARING_VIOLATION)
(component VirtualBox).
Even if the above file is owned by the user.

Is there a way to migrate VMs I have created as admin and run them with unprivileged users?
Consider that I would need to have different users to run a VM each. And that is the only thing they should do (so they have to be limited on everything else).
Every user would have a batch script to run its own VM.
Any hint?

Thank you

See the manual, section "9 Advanced topics" and give the users group access to where ever you move the xml's to.

Thanks vbox4me2!
This hint helped me solve my problem.
