Altiris Agent and Inventory Solution for ESX Server 3.5
Deployment Solution 6.9 seems to have support for VMware ESX Server 3.5.
Will Altiris release an update for Altiris Agent and Inventory Solution so they can install and run on ESX Server 3.5?
Current documentation points at only supporting ESX Server 2.5 and 3.0 at this time. If an update is in the works, when is the release date due?
Thanks,

If Symantec Endpoint encryption - how does Altiris DS work?
If you have Symantec Endpoint Encryption for full disk encryption - how does this interoperate with Altiris Deployment Server?
For example - if you initiate a WoL with PXE-boot, with the disk encryption authentication prompt stop the process?
