COmanage Users List

["Michael A. Grady" <>]

Heather, I'm working with our systems group that manages our VMware  
environment to get the CoManage virtual appliance installed so I can  
start to play with it. But that group is reporting that they think  
that the virtual disk format is incompatible with the latest version  
of VMware ESX. Have you heard any other reports of problems?
