Yes. I've done just that. Works great.
Caveat - there was a bug related to not setting the Guest Agent to autostart (at least for Windows 2008 R2). I think that's been fixed but don't know if the fix has been pushed to the latest ISO yet. Workaround - go into Services and change it from Manual to Automatic. -Bob

That's probably not going to work as long as there is no QXL/SPICE support for windows >= 2k12.
There is no QXL driver so continuous/arbitrary resolution won't work, but the spice-vdagent should be able to resize the screen to the nearest standard resolution on window resize. Regards, David

I've tested the 3.5_5 installer on both a 2012 and a 2012 R2 guest. On both guests the installer hung at the "installing virtioscsi" step. Killing the installer process lead to an unbootable OS.

Works great. Caveat - there was a bug related to not setting the Guest Agent to autostart (at least for Windows 2008 R2). I think that's been fixed but don't know if the fix has been pushed to the latest ISO yet. Workaround - go into Services and change it from Manual to Automatic.

Unfortunately, I get 'Unsupported Windows version' on Windows Server 2012 R2.
Which release of the iso are you using?
This one: http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-master-snapshot-static/iso/ovirt-guest-...
Lev, does above build include 2012 R2 support? We're going to release a new build today as part of the 3.5.0 beta 2 release, can you re-test it once it's ready?

I'm afraid I have to retract my statement: After a reboot I discovered the files are installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools, but the service is installed with a path to the CD drive (D:\bin\OvirtGuestService.exe). On 07/26/14 04:44, Tiemen Ruiten wrote:

Hi Tiemen, That is quite strange behaviour... I tried to reproduce this, but was unable to do so. You simply double-click on the ovirt-guest-tools-setup executable file on the CD right? Or you do something else? If you do something different can you please explain the exact scenario of what you do? Can you please provide me with the exact release details of 2K12R2 that you're using? (I used Standard, Build 9600). Also, can you please try again installing the tools on the clean instance of 2K12R2 ? Just as a side note, the ovirt-guest-tools-setup.exe can be copied to any location and run from there, as it self-contains all the necessary files. The installer doesn't copies any files from the CD's bin directory etc., nor it's supposed to run any of the files included on the CD. The sole purpose of these files on the CD is for user's convenience, to allow i.e. manual copying and installation of oVirt Guest Agent if one desires so.

Hello Lev, That's right, attach/mount the iso through the ovirt admin interface, then open the cd drive and double click on ovirt-guest-tools-setup.exe. I'm using Server 2012 R2 Standard. The same thing happened on all 12 servers I installed last week, but they were cloned from the same oVirt template though. I will try to reproduce this tomorrow with a clean install and also double check build number. On 4 August 2014 18:00, Lev Veyde <lveyde@redhat.com> wrote:

Hello Lev, It seems to have been caused by Ovirt Guest tools service that was left behind and didnt't get updated. Looks OK now. On 4 August 2014 22:15, Tiemen Ruiten <t.ruiten@rdmedia.com> wrote:
