[ovirt-users] ovirt guest agent iso

[Tiemen Ruiten]

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.
