Join NT Domain

Post by Solecs »

Hi there I have read a couple of posts concerning joining a domain, but I am not sure if virtual box can join a NT domain. Has anyone tried or know if this is possible and if so how i would go about doing it?

VirtualBox does not have the ability to join anything, but the guest can. You need to use bridged networking mode and then the guest appears on the network as just another PC.

Cool it worked. I forgot about the network settings in the VB manager. Thanks for the help Perryg.

My host is on domain I just wanted to test if VB could join in case we ever needed VB to visualize something to test before we change it on a mission critical machine.
