Cloning a Virtual Machine
I cloned a few VM's using VMware and everything seems to be working fine. The only question I have is why when I open a command prompt, the server name that is listed is the one I cloned from and not the server that I'm on? The cloned servers are running Windows 2008 R2.
Thanks

It looks like you just made a copy of that vm without running the Customization.

When I cloned my servers I choose Customize. When I customize, I give it a new name and IP address. When the server is done being cloned, it retains it's old name and IP. I have no clue what is going on with the cloning feature of VMware.
After cloning, when you boot the cloned machine it should modify all the settings to match the ones from your customization but you need to be patience because it takes some time and I think two reboots.

Rebooting twice does not resolve the issue.
I mean in the process of applying the custom configuration it should reboot twice.

What is the servers name, the same as the original?
