Thanks for the links, For

Thanks for the links,
For the windows 2008 agents I take it this means we have to
1. upgrade the ESM manager to 6.5.3,
2. run renameAgentFolder utility
3. apply the supplied patches to the manager and the console.
4. download windows 2008 agent
5. carry out manual install and registration

The ESX links dont seem to mention ESXi or ESX4, does ESM not support these?
