So I finally managed to installed ESXi 5.0 and installed server 2008 r2 into it, and got myself a vm that I could play and test the heck out of it. The only problem that I can't seem to find a solution for is that in the console view, the guest os is only using part of the space for my viewing, as in there is a large portion of black space border around it. Viewing in full screen also have the same issue.

How do I retify this issue? vmware workstation have a autofit function but I can't seem to find a similar function for esxi, nor can I find any solution on the web. Any help would be appreciated in advance, thanks.
 
Don't know 5, but in 4 its dependent on what resolution you set in the guest OS. Try setting it to your desktop res and see what happens.

Change the resolution in the display settings of the VM.
