Goal

The VirtualBox administrator would like to install and configure a solution that implements multiple VirtualBox Guests on a host machine.  The guest applications are using USB license dongles, devices which may or may not be physically attached to the host system when running the script to create/configure the guest machines.

In order to prevent guest machines from interacting with the incorrect license dongle, the VirtualBox Administrator may implement USB filters--even if the device is not connected--so long as the name of the USB device is already known.
