HI all
Please help me with this problem.
Can I use VBox to act as a host for 4 users to connect simultaneously to one Vbox machine ( host ) . Similar to the Multipoint server of windows.
My problem is this
I have to setup one Vbox host and add 3 monitors, 3 keybords and 3 mouse to one machine so that 4 users can use the Virtual desktop as if each user has a machine on its own.
Is this possible at all , so that the 4 users don't interact with each other.
would a zero client work here? if so which one ? or can we just get a usb hub for the additional keyboards and mouse. Then i worry about the additional 3 monitors.
If this is possible please please assist me with the setup of this to work correctly.
Obviously I will need a machine that will be able to handle the processing power and memory. This is no problem.
Your urgent help will be appreciated.
Regards
G

Re: Using Virtual box as a multipoint
Not really. Multipoint server is related to terminal services, not to Microsoft's virtualization software. It is virtual desktop setup rather than virtual machine.
If you want a cheap alternative to Multipoint Server you would be better off looking at a Linux virtual desktop implementation like Userful Multiseat Linux.
