virtualbox.org

Hello there,

I am really hoping that somebody can help me out with my problem. I am a student and working on my college to become a Netwerk/server manager.
I installed Windows Server 2012 on my virtualbox it works perfect and like a charm. But i would like to have the option that when i add a DHCP server or Active directory and i would like to RESET it back to default. How can i do this? Currently i have removed it manually. The point of this server is to learn working with DHCP and activer directory etc.

Is there any option that i can enable? BTW my college has a virtual server too but with one CLICK the can restore it to factory settings.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Nino

I believe you are talking about Snapshots.

I'm loathe to see snapshots being recommended for anything. Why not just create a base VM and clone it (full independant clone) at the start of each new experiment?

Because "Restore current snapshot" takes a second and "Clone" can easily take at least several minutes.

I'm aware of that, amazingly enough. Cloning is also much safer, so it's time well spent.
