I have successfully uninstalled SQL 2005 on both nodes of a two node Windows 2008 cluster and am attempting to reinstall SQL, but am receiving the following error:
"The specified Virtual Server name already exists on the network. To proceed, enter a unique Virtual Server name."
In Failover Cluster Management, the resource group shows that the cluster name, ip address, and cluster disks are online. To resolve this issue, is it just a matter of removing the resource group, recreating it under the same name, then adding the disk drives or is there more that needs to be done to complete the uninstall?

Just an update to close this out . . .
The SQL cluster resource group was deleted and I was able to complete the reinstallation of the SQL 2005 cluster. The only other issue that was encountered during the installation was an error message pointing to the "Microsoft.SqlServer.MSMQTask" COM+ component. After some research, it was determined that the component needed to be deleted before proceeding with the install. Once the COM+ component was deleted, the rest of the installation completed successfully.
