I have some batch files that start and save virtual machines on a Windows Server 2008 box. I am using gpedit.msc to fire the bats...
I have added lines to write to a logs. There is a line written, then vboxmanage controlvm VM savestate runs and then another line.
When the machine starts back up, same process; write a line, execute vboxmanage, write a line.
If I run the bat files from the desktop, they work just fine. When I restart the machine, I can see that the logs have been written to, but the VMs are not going.
I guess I have 2 basic questions;
1) What would cause vboxmanage not to run, and
2) as I am not skilled in batch files or VirtualBox, is there something I can do to detect and log what is happening?

How about you post the scripts in question? – Ramhound – 2013-05-09T19:31:02.680
The script is irrelevant (and, it works in every other situation) - I am just running
vboxmanage controlvm [VM] savestateandvboxmanage startvm [VM] --type headless- the only way the script itself would be relevant is if there is some difference in the way it is executed at startup vs after login. – aserwin – 2013-05-09T19:34:26.873
