The fqdn should be coming through on 4.2.5 -- we didn't change that
behavior in 4.3. So, while you should upgrade to get the latest features, I
don't think it's the version 00 I suspect the guest agent just isn't
installed or running in Windows.

It is -- just be sure to use ovirt-release43.rpm, not ovirt-release42.rpm

We do recommend upgrading to 4.2.8 before going to 4.3. But yeah, a fresh
post on that would be good.
