[CentOS] And now for something completely different. Win7 on KVM

[James B. Byrne]

OK.  We are golden with respect to getting the network reactivated on the
Windows guest.  One down, infinity to go.  Thanks for the help.

There was one wrinkle in all this.  I had to log on to the guest as a local
administrator to configure the nic driver. Windows explorer (not IE) reported
a server error when I logged in as the domain admin and tried to open the
computer management window.

Explorer.exe server execution failed.

And in consequence I could do absolutely nothing until I logged in with a
local user profile.

This is apparently due to the fact that Win7 handles roaming user profiles
somewhat differently than WinXp. Evidently, if you do not have a network
connection to a remote user profile then the OS chokes.  Just a heads up for
anyone else in this situation.
