While your testing to see how things run I would keep it very simple!:
1. Make sure you can remote desktop from Windows 2008 to the Windows XP VM
2. Close down the XP VM
3. Create a basic batch file like
-- START XPVM.bat EXAMPLE:
cd "c:\program files\oracle\virtualbox"
vboxmanage startvm "Windows XP" --type headless
-----
Remember the VM Name is case sensitive so whatever you named it must be
what follows STARTVM
Run the batch file at the Command Prompt and you should see a successfully
started message.
If after a period of testing it all seems to run ok then you can experiment
with more advanced HEADless approaches.
I would try running PX in Windows XP so that if you would move to Windows8+
you want need to solve new problems with each new Host OS.
