Did you install/add the VirtualBox Extension Pack? AFAIK it is required to use RDP
No, I didn't. But according to Darshaka' setup, (running grml from live cd), it seems not required.
? Darshaka never talked about installing virtualbox. And according to the documentation you have to.
But from the Virtualbox homepage:
,----[ VirtualBox 4.1.8 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack ] | Support for USB 2.0 devices, VirtualBox RDP and PXE boot for Intel | cards. See this chapter from the User Manual for an introduction to this | Extension Pack. The Extension Pack binaries are released under the | VirtualBox Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL). `----
And from https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch07.html#idp8971072 ,---- | For maximum flexibility, starting with VirtualBox 4.0, VirtualBox implements | remote machine display through a generic extension interface, the VirtualBox | Remote Desktop Extension (VRDE). The base open-source VirtualBox package only | provides this interface, while implementations can be supplied by third parties | with VirtualBox extension packages, which must be installed separately from the | base package. See the section called “Installing VirtualBox and extension | packs” for more information. | | Oracle provides support for the VirtualBox Remote Display Protocol (VRDP) in | such a VirtualBox extension package. When this package is installed, VirtualBox | versions 4.0 and later support VRDP the same way as binary (non-open-source) | versions of VirtualBox before 4.0 did `----
TL;DR You have to install the Virtualbox Extension Pack to use rdp.
