When installing Windows to a KVM I have gotten to the following:

# virt-install \ --name vm1 \ --ram=2048 \ --vcpus=2 \ --disk path=/vm-images/vm1.img,size=15 \ --cdrom /root/dvd1.iso

This will however boot Windows but I'll have no way to run through the interactive install.

Is my only way to build a zero-touch type install locally then push that so Windows installs automatically? The other part that gets me lost is how will I know it's IP or if RDP is enabled so I can login remotely to the Windows Machine?

You can use qemu for this : qemu-x86_64 -m 1024 -boot d -cdrom windows.iso -hda mydisk.img. Use qemu-img prior to this to create mydisk.img.

virt-install will create the VM and kick off the installation process. You can access the process via console using virt-manager or virt-viewer (remote-viewer) or directly via the VNC or SPICE console. The extra option to add is --graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0 --noautoconsole
