Anyone know if Beats Central Management in 6.5 is supported on Metricbeat 6.5 for Windows??

using:

```
PS C:\Program Files\metricbeat> metricbeat.exe enroll https://localhost:5601/kibana d20f2f72baab42
c78a1961267424c086
The term 'metricbeat.exe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check
the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Suggestion [3,General]: The command metricbeat.exe was not found, but does exist in the current location. Windows PowerS
hell doesn't load commands from the current location by default. If you trust this command, instead type ".\metricbeat.e

@pierhugues any chance that ARM is also impacted? I'm seeing the same when trying to enroll `metricbeat` that I built from source on a raspberry pi.

I know that ARM isn't officially supported, but the rest of the build works just fine. I tried building from the [6.5.1 release](https://github.com/elastic/beats/releases/tag/v6.5.1) too, with the same error:

```auto
pi@assistant:~/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/metricbeat $ make
go build -i -ldflags "-X github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat/version.buildTime=2018-11-30T14:03:24Z -X github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat/version.commit=b1c6ac83cc037bd75395334eed23b64bd63c87ef"
pi@assistant:~/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/metricbeat $ ./metricbeat enroll
Error: unknown command "enroll" for "metricbeat"
Run 'metricbeat --help' for usage.

```

```auto
pi@assistant:~/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/metricbeat $ ./metricbeat version
metricbeat version 6.5.1 (arm), libbeat 6.5.1 [b1c6ac83cc037bd75395334eed23b64bd63c87ef built 2018-11-30 14:03:24 +0000 UTC]

@Larry_Gregory `enroll` is only present in the binary produced from the x-pack/metricbeat directory. If you build from there you will have the command.
