Hi <br />
<br />
We use VMware Vsphere 6.0 and I have a Windows 2016 template server which is in a powered off state. At the moment I want to copy this server and build for the purpose of new role and would like to keep the master copy Windows 2016 template server.<br />
If I copy the 2016 template server, will the copied sever have a separate MAC address?<br />
<br />
Please post me the steps and best way to achieve this.<br />
<br />
Thanks

How to Copy a windows 2016 server on a  VMware  VSphere 6.0

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
