    • Priority: Minor
    • Component/s: virtualbox-plugin
    • None
    • Environment:
      Jenkins master 1.533 on OSX, Virtualbox plugin 0.7, Guest is windows 7

      I am a bit lost on which launcher method is optimal for a windows 7 guest.

      • SSH does not play well with windows
      • JNLP is not supported by the virtualbox plugin, according to issue JENKINS-7250.
      • To control the slave as a windows service, I would need to know the IP of the guest, which is somewhat problematic with virtualbox and NAT.

      What is the suggested way of controlling a windows guest?
