virtualbox.org

So ... I love writing batch scripts to make life simple and easy, as well as power shell scripts now. Only problem is that in looking at the help section of the vboxmanage.exe I did not see a way to add a vdi to the media manager. I can create a VDI using the "createhd" command but I can not find out how to connect that VDI and its new UUID to the Media Manager via script.. I was wondering if any one had a suggestion on how to do this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks this worked.

Is there a way to close all mediums? and remove all VMs quickly?

vboxmanage.exe closemedium #all

something of this nature. Will the class support a shortcut?

No idea, I'm not the dev.
