Thanks David, I appreciate the help. I installed virt-manager on my virt-engine. And I have installed virt-viewer on my workstation... I am still not getting a console though. I don't quite understand if I have to do anything further.. I have checked the faq and looked at the screen shots, but I am not much the wiser... is there any more detail I can read on installing and getting this running? I am assuming I connect to virt-engine for this - should the console button in the virt-engine bring up the remote viewer, or do I have to start the remote view separately? I turned the firewall off to make sure that isn't the problem. It appears its trying fire virt-manager up on to a remote x display I guess, but I just get "unable to connect to the graphic server spice://ovirt.pbi.global.pvt:5900 " Any further advice on getting this running would be greatly appreciated.

Lately, you don't have to go through the hoops needed to make spice-x work. Even if you can get it, it will only work for you in IE < 11. You should instead just install virt-viewer [1] and the consoles should Just Work for you using the Natice Client (.vv file) method.
