If I install KVM on an Ubuntu server and create some Windows virtual machines, I will need a GUI to go through the Windows install process. Will I need to install a GUI on the server, or is there a way I can connect to KVM remotely from, say, my Windows workstation?

I know VMWare and Hyper-V allow you to connect to a virtual machine remotely, so certainly KVM does as well.... Right?

Short Answer

You should try enabling vnc. It works then.

Long Answer

QEMU uses SDL for it's output (video as well as sound). You can force QEMU to listen to the vnc by using the -vnc option.
Or you could make vnc the default option by adding <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' keymap='en-us'/> to the /etc/libvirt/qemu/*.xml file, in the end just after the last </devices> line.
Then run the following
/etc/init.d/libvirtd restart
virsh shutdown <osname>
virsh start <osname>
