What host server is supported for Get-VMHostSyslogServer?

[halr9000]

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'.

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Client20_SystemManagementServiceImpl_ThrowSysLogServerNotSupp
   ortedException_MissingSysLogInfo,VMware.VimAutomation.Commands.Host.GetVMHostSysLogServer

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.

Looks like you're right about ESXi only (before you say it, yes it would be nice to have a little compatibility matrix for each cmdlet).

C:\> Set-VMHostSysLogServer -SysLogServer 10.21.4.91 -SysLogServerPort 514

Host                                     Port
----                                     ----
10.21.4.91                               514


C:\> Get-VMHostSysLogServer

Host                                     Port
