vmkfstools cloning via NFS VM can't boot

$

Hey all,

 

I've been attempting to copy a Workstation VMDK (with Windows 7 installed) file across from my NFS server onto my ESXi host using vmkfstools -i, this works just fine but when I create a VMX pointing at this VMDK it fails to boot and continually launches the Windows 7 Startup repair, I've also tried using the VMWare Standalone converter and that works just fine. The problem here is that I need to be able to run the operation regularly and would prefer if it was scripted and therefore I cannot use the converter, is there something I need to do in order to get the VMDK to boot correctly?

 

Thanks,

Daniel Hobley
