Hello

I created a Windows VM that users can access through Remote Desktop (RDP).
I would like to give them the power to create/restore snapshots from inside the VM.
Are there any tools that can be installed that allow this?

PS: if this was answered, soory, I could not find it quickly.

Thanks.

I don't think there's a way to do this with Virtualbox's own commands. There is a VBoxControl.exe that gets installed with the guest additions, but it doesn't seem to do anything with snapshots.You could use Sysinternals' PsExec if both host and guest are Windows and they're networked together, to run host VBoxManage commands from within the guest. Or set VBoxControl.exe's "guestproperty" values in the guest which are monitored by an automatic script on the host to run VBoxmanage commands when a guestproperty goes to a certain value.
