Description of problem: Running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise After installing ovirt-guest-tools-3.5-1.iso, service came up as expected. Upon reboot, however it did not. Running services.msc, I see that OVirt Guest Agent Service has "Startup Type" of "Manual". After changing this to "Automatic", the service starts automatically upon reboot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.5-1 alpha Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mount CD 2. Run ovirt-guest-tools-3.5-1.exe in VM 3. Reboot VM Actual results: Service does not start Expected results: Service should start automatically. Additional info:
My mistake... I debugged it and it is due to the way Python's win32serviceutil module works. By default the service is installed in manual mode, unless a command line option is supplied to change this behaviour (-auto). Will fix this in the oVirt WGT installer.
ovirt GT 3.5.5 has automatic for the service.
oVirt 3.5 has been released and should include the fix for this issue.
