First time trying VirtualBox. Host is older Xeon i686 server box. OS is Scientific Linux 6.1.  Want to run Windows 2003 guest VM headless.

I've attached some info.

Got it working.  2 changes I think.
 * Switched from a SATA controller to an IDE controller.
 * Added --bridgeadpater1 to # VBoxManage modifyvm Windows2003 --nic1 bridged --bridgeadapter1 eth0

Also learned that X-windows is not needed to run headless.

Commands used for a successful virtualbox setup Scientific Linux 6.1 host, Windows 2003 guest.
The Windows 2003 guest is run headless. Use an RDP client to access the console.

$ VBoxManage --version
4.1.8r75467

$ createvm.sh

$ storage.sh
