Hi
Would it be possible to disjoin the SQL Server Clustered environment to a new domain without having to reinstall the cluster?
disjoin
e.g 2 node active\active cluster with 4 named instances. SQLserver1.dn.za; SQLserver2.dn.za; SQLserver3.dn.za;SQLserver4.dn.za
servernode1.dn.za; servernode2
re-join them as SQLserver1.dn.ra; SQLserver2.dn.ra; SQLserver3.dn.ra;SQLserver4.dn.ra
servernode1.dn.ra; servernode2.dn.ra
What would be the impact on the servers, will they be able to resolve the new dns.?

No, the cluster is domain dependant.

There are a number of objects that are required, not least the AD computer accounts and DNS host records.
What would be viable is to evict 2 nodes from the current cluster and build a new cluster in the new domain.
Migrate all objects across and then destroy the original cluster, these 2 nodes could then be added to the new domain\cluster
