I thought it had worked, but I jumped the gun. I'm still getting the same problem... I have put this in a .bat file and writing straight to ssh get's the same error "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxHeadless.exe --startvm 8b2db9b3-5907-431f-b25c-44ea9cade05d" gives me "Invalid machine name or UUID" I'll update the main post

You can also refer to your machine by name, no need to deal with GUIDs.

Refering to them as a UUID or by the machine name Ubuntu-server end up with the same result. But for ease of reading i'll only use Ubuntu-server from now on

Well, does VBoxManage list vms show the machine?

Through the ssh connection no it does not. But it does in the windows command prompt
