<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">On a somewhat related note, whenever I setup a Windows 2012 R2 VM and then install oVirt Tools (the standard one from the oVirt repo -- oVirt-toolsSetup_4.0-1.fc23.iso), the oVirt Guest
Service fails to start. To get things working I have to follow this procedure:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Open Device Manager, right click on each device with a question mark (lacking a driver), select "update driver software", "browse my computer", specify your CD drive (usually D:\), then
hit Next and it should pick up the appropriate driver for each device. After that, go to Services (also accessible under Computer Management) and try starting oVirt Tools – it show now start OK. Back in the oVirt web interface, you should notice there is now
information about the VM's IP and installed applications.</span></i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">It’s an old issue – I had to follow the same workaround back in oVirt 3.6 with the oVirt 3.x tools. Is there a bug open on this?
