- | ====== Oracle VirtualBox (for OS compatibility) ====== | ||
- | This guide describes how to create a shared virtualbox between several users in a Windows domain environment. \\ | ||
- | This guide will use a virtual machine with Windows XP, but it could be anything you like. The purpose of this \\ | ||
- | is to have a virtual environment for programs that can’t run on your primary Operating System. | ||
- | The package creates a shortcut on all users’ desktop called “Create VirtualXP”. When someone clicks this icon,\\ | ||
- | a new shortcut will appear on __that users’ desktop__ called “VirtualXP”. This shortcut loads the shared virtual machine, \\ | ||
- | disables auto-update and disables all the default pop-up messages. If the icon has already been clicked, nothing will happen. | ||
- | |||
- | **Tested With:** | ||
- | * OPSI 4.0.2.4 | ||
- | * Winst 4.11.3.3 | ||
- | * Windows 7, 64-Bit | ||
- | |||
- | **Instructions: | ||
- | |||
- | Okay, this package is not that easy and you will need to do some preparations for it to work. | ||
- | * Prepare VirtualBox-installer (.msi): | ||
- | * Start off by downloading VirtualBox for Windows from: https:// | ||
- | * Open a command prompt and write: VirtualBox-4.3.0-89960-Win.exe –extract | ||
- | * You can now find the .msi-file under Appdata → Local → Temp → Virtualbox. You will need both the .msi-file (x64) and the common.cab. | ||
- | * Copy them to CLIENT_DATA\VirtualBox | ||
- | * Prepare the certificate for silent install: | ||
- | * Now you should install the program (just use the .exe-file) – accept the certificate when prompted. | ||
- | * When installed, go to Run… and write certmgr.msc. | ||
- | * Navigate to “trusted publishers” → Right click and browse to Export… - export the certificate as “oraclecert.cer”. | ||
- | * Copy the certificate to CLIENT_DATA\Certificate | ||
- | * Prepare the virtual machine: | ||
- | * Create a new virtual machine in VirtualBox (doesn’t have to be Windows XP – could also be linux ect.) and set it up with the software you like. | ||
- | * Network could cause problems when you install the package to a new PC if “bridged” mode is set – I use NAT. | ||
- | * When the virtual machine is created as you like, shut it down. | ||
- | * Copy the VM-folder from <user folder> | ||
- | * Prepare the user-specific shortcut: | ||
- | * Create a shortcut to your desktop with a path to: " | ||
- | * Copy this shortcut to CLIENT_DATA\VMs-folder. | ||
- | * Prepare the .bat-file: | ||
- | * Create a .bat-file (scroll to bottom) and copy it to CLIENT_DATA\VMs. | ||
