VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Not only is VirtualBox an extremely feature rich, high performance product for enterprise customers, it is also the only professional solution that is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 3. See "About VirtualBox" for an introduction.
VirtualBox is being actively developed with frequent releases and has an ever growing list of features, supported guest operating systems and platforms it runs on. VirtualBox is a community effort backed by a dedicated company: everyone is encouraged to contribute while Oracle ensures the product always meets professional quality criteria.
We currently package our virtual machines for four different virtualization software options: VMware, Hyper-V (Gen2), VirtualBox, and Parallels.These virtual machines contain an evaluation version of Windows that expires on the date posted. If the evaluation period expires, the desktop background will turn black, you will see a persistent desktop notification indicating that the system is not genuine, and the PC will shut down every hour.
There is no password set up for the user account. However, some software, especially those used to connect remotely to the VM, may require a password. In those cases, you will need to set up a password for the user account first before using that software.
Unfortunately, we don't have an ARM version available at the moment. We understand that this may be disappointing news, but we don't have any short term plans to create these. However, we're always open to feedback and suggestions from our users and will take them into consideration when planning future updates.
Yes, we have noticed that there are some rendering quirks when using VirtualBox to run these developer images. The Start menu may also look different than expected. We are currently investigating this behavior. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience and understanding.
Can someone explain the difference of these two apps in AD? It seems like at some point today something changed and I have to set my test users to be Tenant Creators in the Windows Virtual Desktop Application to use the web URL. Adding users to the client app seems to do nothing. We've had no issue with the windows and mac RDP apps using the web feed URLs. Unless this is what we have to do for the time being but it just seems a little confusing.
And I don't know if I'm missing something but I can only deploy apps and desktops per UPN and cannot apply a security group. Would be nice to have the app groups set up to look for a security group and simply adding the users to the group in AD and when things sync up, you have your apps.
@Christian_Montoya got it, thank you. Is there a reason why all my test users have to be assigned TenantCreator roles in the Windows Virtual Desktop app to even use the service? It seems like adding a user to the client app as a user role fails to log them in with an error stating they are not assigned the app. When I add them as a tenant creator all is well.
If you did the admin consent on both apps (Windows Virtual Desktop and Windows Virtual Desktop client), there should be nothing else you need to do to get the standard users working. What exactly do you mean by "When I add them as tenant creator all is well"?
but it doesnt matter. Even when using the wvd desktop client, every user has to be a tenant creator in the WVD app in Azure. If they are only assigned to the WVD client app in Azure, they have no access. Everything works fine but the permissions seem backwards.
I've added some screen caps of what I'm talking about. You can see, all users marked as Tenant Creators in the WVD app have access. All users in the WVD client app set with a role of default access cannot log into the web URL nor the WVD client app. If I move them to creators, they have access without issue.
@stevenzelenko : Can we follow up in a Private Message? It's really strange that you're hitting this and would like to get to the bottom of this. Although you are seeing this behavior, you should not have to be adding users to the TenantCreators role to access their desktops or applications, so I just want to better understand your environment.
Thanks for the quick reply. Seeing exactly what you are, unless i add them as a tenantcreator in the Windows Virtual Desktop app after adding the user via Add-RdsAppGroupUser, they cannot login. The WVD website just keeps kicking you to the login page (i see something in the address bar quickly about access denied), and the RD app says it cannot authenticate the user.
Wow, glad I saw this post too - thanks Steven. See mine below - ignore all the older posts. Same situation, except I though it had something to do with the fact that my Tenant Creator user didn't have MFA while the regular user account who is in the Desktop Application Group does have MFA enabled.
@jaycrumpgp @stevenzelenko : Oh man, yes, this is definitely still an error. Let me followup with the team and get back to you to see how we can address/resolve this. Full disclosure, I definitely want to get to the bottom of this because I don't want this error happening in the future, especially GA.
So there are 2 enterprise apps created in AAD: Windows Virtual Desktop and Windows Virtual Desktop Client. In my experience adding a user to my app group using the PowerShell cmdlet does not add the user to either enterprise app. At least you can't see them in the AAD GUI. I've used the following:
Manually adding a user to only the "Windows Virtual Desktop Client" app does not work. Users get stuck in a login loop, with a message in the URL advising the user "is not assigned to a role for the application". The application ID presented in this error is the ID for the "Windows Virtual Desktop" app. If I add the user to that app, it works. But, if I then remove the user from the "Windows Virtual Desktop Client" group, I get the same error, referencing the app ID for it.
@Rob Blankers I'm bumping this again. We still have this issue. Microsoft told me that they would escalate internally but haven't heard anything yet. @Christian_Montoya Do you know anything? Everything else is fine but this issue seems weird. Attaching the error we are still seeing again if it helps.
I want to write a program that takes input from my microphone, processes it, and then sends the output to a fake "virtual microphone" as if the processed sound I created was what a microphone was hearing. I would then like to be able to use this virtual microphone with any application that supports choosing your microphone input (pretty much any well written software) as a valid microphone. So what the application "hears" will be my processed version of the microphone input.
I'm working with Portaudio in C and I can capture from the mic, process, and send out to the speakers just fine. Now I need to replace my real speakers in the application with the phony microphone. Windows seems to have some APIs for this. -us/library/windows/hardware/ff536201%28v=vs.85%29.aspxSo my sink pin will be the real microphone and I will have to create a NEW source pin that should be visible to other applications. How would I go about doing this? I'm having difficulty finding code samples or really even any very informative documentation.
You could be using the programm called virtual audio cable. The freeware includes up to 3 vac-s. Afterward you can use the mitov.com audiolab library to do whatever you want with the sound comming on it. If you want to do some DSP or whatever

I am wondering if it has to do with the S mode of Windows. On my virtual Windows environment, the Windows 11 is not activate, and when I try to download the Dropbox app, it says I can only download Dropbox for S mode.

If you were using a Mac which was running the older Intel chip, then it would work normally. However, on Macs with the M1 chip, only the S Mode version of the app would run on Windows when using Parallels on that device.
My supervisor wants me to look into a virtual Windows 10/11 desktop solution leveraging our on-prem VMware cluster. Luckily, our cluster hardware has plenty of CPU/RAM/storage to accomplish the scope of the solution. The issue I'm running into is finding tutorials on how to set this up using Windows Server 2022-era products. All the solutions I can find seem to require an Azure tenant.I would have no issues recommending an Azure-integrated solution, except for the kicker: My company's Azure tenant is managed by a non-US corporation, to which we have no administrative access and getting an Azure VDI solution in place is so convoluted as to be effectively impossible.I know Windows Virtual Desktop is old tech and I totally understand why Microsoft is pushing Azure cloud services instead of on-prem solutions, but my situation dictates that I come up with an on-prem solution that will have the potential to last the next 3-5 years without Microsoft killing it with EoL support and security update cancellations.
