vboxmanage.exe not working over telnet

Post by AnshumanPT »

I want to list the running VM's using vboxmanage.exe command. Running Release 4.2.6 of Oracle Virtual Box on Windows 7 32 Bit Host.

When I type this command on Command Prompt "vboxManage.exe list vms", it runs fine and lists all my vm's.

But when I fire this command over the telnet (Telnet to windows 7 Host machine from other remote machine) and run this command, I get this Error:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>vboxmanage list vms
VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to create the VirtualBox object!
VBoxManage.exe: error: Code CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE (0x80080005) - Server execution failed (extended info not available)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not running or failed to start.
Tried to search all vBox Forums, but there is no success.

Not everyone who reads your message is interested in Telnet - the fact that you only got 7 views is a clue to that I think.

Best guess is that you are logging in via Telnet as the wrong user, i.e. not the one(s) which VirtualBox was installed for.

No, I am not logging in as wrong user. It's the same user with which Virtual Box Was installed.

This seems to be problem with VBoxSVC.exe and thats why I am suffering with the same.

Is VBoxSVC already running for this user? Could be the well-known COM bug (i.e. far outside our reach) where each user session launches its own VBoxSVC instance, but there must be only one per user.
