Wouldn't you know it? I just installed ESXi 5 on a new host yesterday, and today we get this. I guess I will be downloading and installing it again.

I am glad to see that support for MS Server 8 is included in the update. I will be ready for that when we decide to deploy that version of OS.
Does anyone know if a newer version of the vSphere client will work with previous versions of the server, or vice-versa?

Based on the how it has worked previously, you will need to update your VSphere client when you update your servers. Servers left running on the previous version will still be accessible after you upgrade your vSphere client.
My advice, upgrade the VSphere client first before you upgrade the servers.

Regarding the update, it is nice to see support for windows 8 and server 8, however they normally label it experimental at this stage. With both versions not yet RTM it will not surprise me if there are some minor problems with the VMtools down the road.

Hi,

This is good news as this is supposed to fix the client (which broke in 4.1!) to allow DA users, via UAG, the ability to use the console over your DA tunnel. Finally! happy
We use a Dell MD3000i storage array. During planning I checked the hardware list and the MD3000i was on on it, not anymore It was removed. I did manage to get it to work but I'm not happy running with none supported hardware. I can tell you the patch made a difference getting it to work. It turns out there is an ISCSI patch in one of the patches rolled into it.
