I'm trying VirtualBox for the first time with V1.4. I'm having problems with both windows and linux hosts in getting my XP SP2 guests to operate correctly with Windows Active Directory. I'm using host networking.
If I try to RIS build I get the usual "Press F12 for network service boot message" - press it, then a get a message saying "OS Chooser V5.2", there's a delay, then a blank blue screen. If I install XP from CD, all goes fine until I've manually joined the system to the domain. This works - I can then log in to the domain, but early in the event log after booting I see: "Event 1054 Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer network. (An unexpected network error occurred. ). Group Policy processing aborted." I've tried various remedies including setting the local policy Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\ - Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon This does sometimes seem to make a difference, and once a system has had policy applied, it continues to be ok on subsequent reboots. I've had machines RIS building and operating in the same AD domain using VMware without such problems.
