[ovirt-users] Windows Guest Agent Issues Since 4.3
Upgraded a installation to 4.3, and update the guest agent on all VM's, now all of my Windows VM's have a exclamation point telling me to install the latest guest agent. Some parts of the guest agent still seem to work, the IP addresses are still showing in the portal, but not FQDN and for some machine the shutdown button no longer functions correctly. I also tried to a fresh 4.3 install on a test cluster, and at first it worked great. But after a few days all of the windows vm's on that setup are showing the same behavior. Linux guests are fine on both systems. Not really sure where to start looking.___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/WUYJCZD7ASZANSZN5QJP255WFMBYP6BL/

They can be found in the $(project_root)/configurations folder. These files are now required if you build it from the master branch. Once you have those two files in the target location, please try to start the service again. I am not sure what the Event ID 10 means, it's maybe just that the process stopped unexpectedly. Please also be sure that run OvirtGuestService.exe -install from the location where you keep the binary, otherwise the path to the service executable will be the wrong location. ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users -- Regards, Vinzenz Feenstra | Senior Software Engineer RedHat Engineering Virtualization R D Phone: +420 532 294 625 IRC: vfeenstr or evilissimo Better technology.

I also am running 2008 R2, and the guest agent is working fine. I just mounted the new pre-release tools iso and ran the installer. I did have to change the service to start automatically but filed a bug on that. http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-master-snapshot-static/iso/ovirt-guest-tools/ovirt-guest-tools-3.5-2.iso Good luck! -Bob Hello Everyone, I am having difficulties getting the oVirt Windows Guest Agent to work with Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
