[NFBCS] deploying a virtual machine

[Tod Fassl]

I take it you mean you need to run Linux on a virtual machine. If you 
have to create andrun a virtual machine from a Linux distrobution, then 
you're in luck. VirtualBox for Linux might be the most accessible 
virtual environment there is. All configuration of the virtual machine 
can be done at a command prompt with VirtualBox.


I can send you a Linux bash script that creates a virtual machine and 
installs Windows 10 on it. You need a Windows 10 installation image and 
a installation key. But it runs on a Linux machine.


If that won't do, I suggest you look into using the VirtualBox command 
line for Windows. A quick google search found this page which seems like 
a good place to start:

I really think that using the vboxmanage command is the way to go here. 
I've had a great deal of success with it in Linux.
