Host: Windows 7 Enterprise SP1
VBox: version 4.3.2
VBoxVmService: 4.1-Ginger

The VBoxVmService process would start. But it would not start the VM.

This is what VBoxVmService.log has:

Code: Select all

11/13/2013, 16:50:08 - C:\opt\vms\VBoxVmService64.exe
11/13/2013, 16:50:08 - C:\opt\vms\VBoxVmService.ini
11/13/2013, 16:50:08 - C:\opt\vms\VBoxVmService.log
11/13/2013, 16:50:08 - VBoxVmService started.
Then I do "VmServiceControl.exe -l" and I see this:

Code: Select all

11/13/2013, 16:50:08 - List all the VMs found by VBoxVmService
11/13/2013, 16:50:08 -   VM0: WSDF0040u is powered off.
11/13/2013, 16:50:08 -   VM WSDF0040u has been started up.
11/13/2013, 16:50:13 - Received control command: list
11/13/2013, 16:50:13 - List all the VMs found by VBoxVmService
11/13/2013, 16:50:13 -   VM0: WSDF0040u is powered off.
In the VM's VBox.log file:

Code: Select all

Not much to troubleshoot with. So any pointers are much appreciated.

I am also having the same, the VM's are started as I can see them on my routers attached devices,
I can ping both Server, Windows 2012, the RDP Connection responds, starts connecting, goes to the black background,
then closes RDP with no error,

have also tried VRDP and it does not work,
