Hello,
We recently ran into some trouble with our cluster running Windows Server 2008 R2 after security patching was completed. The cluster did not return to normal and now when attempting to start the cluster service it states that it cannot and comes back with an error code of 2. The logs are reporting 7024 and 1090, and Cluster Log /g states 'open key parameters'.
I was going to to destroy the cluster and start all over again, however, when I attempt to destroy the cluster, I receive an error message - System error 1753 has occurred (0x000006d9). There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper. I am going to make the assumption that Windows cannot destroy the cluster as the service is not running?
I tried to remove the feature from the Server, however, Windows comes back and states that the Server belongs to a cluster and therefore it cannot be removed. If I disable the cluster service, I can remove the feature, however, I am not sure if this is the best method of what may happen if I do it this way?
So with this said, does anyone have any advice on how to destroy the cluster when it is in a state such as this?
Thanks in advance,
CU
