As I worked with Windows Server 2012 R2, I chose to directly run the 64-bit version named VBoxWidowsAdditions-amd64.exe.Īfter a few seconds, the first screen of the installer popped out. The VBoxWidowsAdditions.exe will execute the appropriate version depending on your Windows platform. I needed to change the current drive and directory to that of the DVD drive and then ran the integration pack installer: C:\Users\Administrator>d: In my case, the DVD drive had the letter D. No problem – we should type a few commands in the command line. Here is the difference between the GUI and Core installation – nothing will happen in the GUI version. Additionally, if your display is in the common resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and you want to open multiple VM consoles, you would like to have them all on the same screen.Īs the first step, I inserted the integration CD into the virtual DVD drive. ![]() However, the Core version is about the command line and even 800 x 600 will be fine. In most cases, we need the largest possible display. When you install Windows Server Core in Oracle VirtualBox, the default desktop resolution will be 1024 x 768 pixels and you can’t change it. ![]() Luckily, this limited GUI will support such installation. Additionally, we need the integration package for our VM to unlock its full potential in the virtual environment. Periodically, I need to use the Windows Core version.
