I don't know how the windows guest tools are shipped now, but Gal should know.


The Windows VM guest agents and drivers are a part of the virtio-win package, you can install the RPM which will contain the ISO or download the iso directly from:
https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/?C=M;O=D

The iso contains an exe that will install all that is needed, just make sure to mark option->install ovirt guest agent

 
If you have this ISO, you can upload it to some data domain. After that you can
attach it to any VM.
