Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Application Provisioning Tool (APT) is a Windows service that can be installed in Windows virtual machines and templates. Attach the guest tools ISO file to your Windows virtual machine and RHEV-Application Provisioning.exe automatically runs to install the APT service.

When the APT service is installed on a virtual machine, attached ISO files are automatically scanned. When the service recognizes a valid Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization guest tools ISO, and no other guest tools are installed, the APT service installs the guest tools. If guest tools are installed, and the ISO image contains newer versions of the tools, an upgrade is automatically performed.

When the APT service has successfully installed or upgraded guest tools on a virtual machine, the virtual machine is automatically rebooted.
