to clone it , there is no export like hyper-v , so i selected cloning from vmware workstation 12 options , after finished the new server started in a safe mode , i don't know what is the problem or am i wright in my steps when i choose cloning not exporting or i need to clone without cmd from vmware 12 options only .
