how to clear AD after destroying windows cluster

  • I was able to do windows cluster successfully on vmware but after destroying it and I wanted to rebuild cluster on same nodes with same vmnode as DC.But Clustering kept failing.... and I had to rebuild entire vmnodes ,ISCSI SAN and Clustering from scratch...

    How do I get over this problem.I want to manage cluster so it remains stable after failover or even after shut down of VMnodes????

  • Snapshot your VMs before doing anything like this.

    The networkname AD computer objects will get re used if you uninstalled correctly, what exactly did you do to clean up, just delete the cluster nodes?

  • Hi I did destroy cluster from FCM console as well as tried to clean up nodes from cmd commands also...

    Removed CNO object from AD...computers.

    What else I need to do ???

  • if you have access to dns clean up the dns records too
