Tomas, this seems like the problem you've mentioned about the virtio-drivers iso on win2008, right?
Yes, this is the bug we talked about.
Hi win2008 is not supported by spice at all, just win10. On the old tools we installed it because it can work. On the new virtio-win tools installer we dont install it. I suggest to close it as not a bug
The reason that spice agent is not starting is probably because the virtio serial device is not properly set up. So rather than whether to spice or not to spice we should care why are the drivers considered corrupted.

Win2008 is no longer supported in 4.4 (see https://access.redhat.com/articles/973163) because of RHEL 8 transition. closing then
