This is my 3.5 server. I'm guessing that this is only for ESXi, is that correct?

PS > Get-VMHostSysLogServer -VMHost tupac*
Get-VMHostSysLogServer : 3/23/2009 12:27:12 AM    Get-VMHostSysLogServer    F95EF5F8-630B-4E
2C-9FFB-0B28B440C112    SysLogServer is not supported for host 'tupac.qatest.iss.net'.

It would be a great help to me if someone could post an example of what the syslog server output looks like, and bonus points for Set-VMHostSyslogServer.
