We are looking to set up a VirtualBox server with multiple WinXP guest OSes for a lab. We are going to lock down XP, but what we're looking to do is take a "master snapshot" of the guest OS and have it automatically revert to this snapshot upon XP rebooting.

Does anyone know of a way to trigger this automatic reversion?

Thank you,

See Chapter 5.4 Special image write modes in your VirtualBox users manual.

Thank you. I read through it and an immutable image looks like what we need, but even after reading thru it I don't seem to understand how we create the image, make it immutable, then switch it back for patching, etc.

When you want to change something you switch it back to normal and patch/change whatever. When done set it back to immutable.

That's what I suspected, but I appreciate you confirming it. Thank you very much!
