Probably the easiest way to do this is to use the free Core Configurator;

Core Configurator 2.0 (Windows Server 2008 R2)

For Server 2008 non-R2, you will need version 1.1 of the tool, which is available here; Core Configurator 2.0 (Windows Server 2008 R2) - Download: Core Configurator 1.1

You simply download the ISO file, mount it in your VM, then in Server Core you change the path to your virtual DVD drive and then run "Start_CoreConfig.wsf". One of the options in the Core Configurator is driver installation, this should hopefully help you achieve your goal.

I've never used VirtualBox, but according to this video on YouTube it's not difficult to do. Once you have it mounted in your VM you should be able to change the path to the virtual optical drive (most likely

but it may be different in your scenario) and then run the "Start_CoreConfig.wsf" file.
