This article was previously published under Q263864



SYMPTOMS
When you use the SQL Failover Wizard to remove a SQL Virtual Server, the Wizard may leave behind the SQL IP address, network name, and generic service resources for that virtual SQL Server, even though the Wizard seems to complete successfully.



CAUSE
This can occur when the dependencies have been changed from their default values. The most common reason for the change is described in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

223786 PRB: Cluster Group Containing SQL Server and MS DTC Moves Slowly



WORKAROUND
Manually delete the resources that are left behind by the SQL Failover Wizard.



MORE INFORMATION
As a side effect, you may see this problem as an IP conflict when attempting to recluster the SQL Server with the same IP address. You will receive an error indicating that the IP address is already in use.

Additional query words: cluster &quot;network name resource&quot; &quot;failover wizard&quot; uncluster
