No, you need to enable Remote Desktop in the VirtualBox settings. VBoxManage modifyvm <name> --vrde on --vrdeport 3389 --vrdeauthtype ... And then connect to the host's IP, not to the guest's. The benefit is that you can connect to a Windows which doesn't have an RDP server included ("Home" versions of "modern" Windows, or even a very old Windows 2000, and all that). -Matt
