This contribution for smeserver adds Sun VirtualBox 2.2.2 for Headless operation (ie creates a virtual machine on your server that can be access via an RDP client such as 'Remote Desktop Connection' on Windows. This allows you to have a virtual Windows machine running on at a remote location to perform various administrative tasks. You can run network applications as if I were in the remote office and will not tying up a physical machine.
