I'm setting up a test environment with Failover Cluster with 2 WS08 "members" in the cluster, however upon renaming one of the servers' hostname it seems to have broken entirely, so I deleted the cluster by force starting it and then destroying it, but when I try to create a new one it still says one server is part of the cluster. Solutions, anyone?

for future reference, you could have tried to run cluster/forcecleanup then deleted any values from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ClusDisk\Parameters\AttachedDisks

try cluster /cleanup from command line.

tried a couple of the cluster commands, they all gave the following error: System error 1753 has occurred (0x000006d9). There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper. – HannesFostie May 27 '09 at 9:10
Oh, and when I do supply the cluster name (which I forgot the first time) I got this error: System error 1722 has occurred (0x000006ba). The RPC server is unavailable. – HannesFostie May 27 '09 at 9:17

What does the Cluster Log say? And the event log?

What type of output do you get when trying: cluster /destroy or if the cluster still exists, what do you get when trying: cluster node cluster res cluster group

???

Also, it would help to post any of the errors from the Cluster Validation Wizard.
