Hello Team,
I have a s2D cluster, and i want to decommission it and to rebuild it.
I want to know what are the best practises to decomissions a cluster :
-Remove the cluster node from the cluster
-Destory the cluster
-Cleanup from AD (AD computer objects,dns entries...)
-Rebuilding the cluster
I don't know guys if you have a procedure of the best practises for decomissioning

Hello
Thank you for your question and reaching out.
The best approach is to First run job "S2D - Prepare Machines for Tests" Removes a cluster and clears all disks. NOTE: Any and all cluster configuration as well as data stored on clustered storage and shares (including S2D) WILL BE LOST. If this job fails, look in the output directory for Remove-S2DCluster.log for details on the failure.
