How can i manage Guests locally and remotely?

[qupfer]

Hi,

i have a small problem. I run VBox on a Windows8 Host. I have some (Linux) Guests and want to manage them from the local server and sometimes from anythere with powershell/ssh (start/stop usbattach...)

My Problem is. If i start the VM from the server with
vboxmange.exe startvm "name" --type headless
i can't control them remotely. For example vboxmange.exe list runningvms returns nothing in a Powershell/ssh Session.
If I start the VM within a powershell-session, i can manage hem remotely but the local vboxmange has no access.

Has anybody any (good) solution? I will try now, how it behaves when I open a ssh-connection to localhost and start the vm.

And I'm sorry for my english

Thank You

If you are running on a Windows 8 host, It is time to update your profile (which states that your primary OS is Mac OS X Leopard).

I have always done this by connecting remotely to a running vm. I only run Windows guests so I use RDP.

There are many options :
SSH, VPN, RDP, phpVirtualBox... Anything that allows you to remotely connect to your computer and run commands under your user environment and you're good.
