Windows should get its own IP address from DHCP once the virtual network adapter is set to Bridged. As he doesn't have a work PC anymore the only machine he could surely remote into would be the SIMS server itself? Not sure I want him able to access the SIMS server itself. That'd be the MBP he loves so much he barely let's it out of his sight and that wasn't my suggested method of accessing SIMS/FMS on?

I did smile (inside) when he asked me earlier this week when I'd have SIMS/FMS working on his MBP. I said he could keep his Windows PC and I could set his MBP up to allow him to remote into his PC from home and access SIMS/FMS if he needed to. Gotta love the plonkers that that fight tooth and nail to buy something they like rather than something they need then wonder why we have to go all around the houses to make things work!ĭo you have any form of remote access set up anywhere? RemoteApp would do wonders for SIMS and FMS and make them feel like they're running natively on his machine.I couldn't possibly call my boss a plonker. I haven't looked at this issue since mid-December 2017 so I may need to check any questions or suggestions against the MBP before I can answer them. My issue is that as I'm running Windows 7 in a virtual machine on a MBP I have potentially three areas that I need to check: a) Windows, b) VirtualBox and c) MBP/Mac OS X.Ĭould anyone help me narrow down the suspects from 3 to 1 so that I can spend my time correctly working on the right area? As the boss has no Windows PC I have very little time to be able to troubleshoot his MBP and so need to be prepared and make best use of however much time I can work on the MBP for?

The proxy settings are correct as I can get online via the browser. However I can't get the school SIMS server to see the virtual W7 machine to deploy SOLUS/SIMS/FMS. I can run it, update Windows and connect to the Internet via the browser. To achieve this I've installed VirtualBox on his MBP and then set up a W7 virtual machine. He obviously needs to be able to access SIMS/FMS. My headteacher loves his Apple gear and has relinquished his Windows PC from his office in favour of his 2017 MBP.
