Can't bring Network Name on line

[Allyn]

We had a SAN that crashed, and we now have the servers back up but clustering
isn't function. When I look at the dependency report, the Network Name is
offline but its IP address is online and pingable.

The event viewer shows several of the following:

==============
Event ID: 1205; The Cluster service failed to bring clustered service or
application 'Cluster Group' completely online or offline. One or more
resources may be in a failed state. This may impact the availability of the
clustered service or application.

==================
Event ID: 1069; Cluster resource 'Cluster Name' in clustered service or
application 'Cluster Group' failed.

==================
Event ID: 1207; Cluster network name resource 'printserver' cannot be
brought online. The computer object associated with the resource could not be
updated in domain 'choctawnation.com' for the following reason:
Unable to obtain the Primary Cluster Name Identity token.

The text for the associated error code is: An attempt has been made to
operate on an impersonation token by a thread that is not currently
impersonating a client.


The cluster identity 'PRINTSERVERCLUS$' may lack permissions required to
update the object. Please work with your domain administrator to ensure that
the cluster identity can update computer objects in the domain.

==========
Event ID: 1205; The Cluster service failed to bring clustered service or
application 'Cluster Group' completely online or offline. One or more
resources may be in a failed state. This may impact the availability of the
clustered service or application.


I've been googling this for a while, but haven't found a solution. I'd
appreciate any ideas. Thanks

I had the same issue with my exchange server cluster.

and we got it fixed...

This is what I did.

Checked my DNS server for a record of the cluster name. It was deleted for some reasons. I created a new A record with the same IP and cluster name.

Shut down both nodes
Switched on the preferred owner.
it started working..
Once all services are working fine and OK I switched on the second node too.
Now it is fine.

*caveat; abdul's method of manually registering a hostname (A) record in DNS will potentially fix the issue but is not recommended by microsoft

in case anybody else comes across this article in their research for a solution to why a Windows Cluster can't register clustered-resource names:

I found the solution http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqldisasterrecovery/thread/c7ecd6d5-1969-4332-99e1-e68255c94f81/

long solution, short:
- right-click the clustered-resource name
- select more actions...
- select "repair active directory object"

other tools that help might be:
- (from command prompt or powershell) nltest /scquery <FQDN>
- net helpmsg <decimalvalueof_last-4hexcharacters_ofwinerrorcodes>
- setspn command might be required to (re-)register service principal name of computer/resource objects
- dcdiag command from domain controller could indicate active directory service issues (which could cause the registration failure of cluster resource names)
- nltest /dsregdns (from the domain controller if directory services fails to register itself, according to output of dcdiag)

[pimpinonnabudget]

additionally--if you end up re-registering the DC DNS records for the domain; a netlogon service restart might be in order; just tryin' to help.

I have been battling with this issue for a couple of days. The Repair Active Directory Object had been greyed out so I could not use it. I then went to ADUC and did right click, reset account on the CNO. After that, the Repair Active Directory Object became active and, voila, the Cluster name came online!!!
