Event ID - 1213

Event Id1213
SourceMicrosoft-Windows-FailoverClustering
DescriptionCluster network name resource '%1' could not completely rename the associated computer object in domain '%2'. Attempting to rename the computer object back to its original name '%3' has also failed. The error code was '%4'. This may affect client connectivity until the network name and its associated computer object name are consistent. Either set the network name resource back to the original name '%3' or contact your domain administrator to manually rename the computer object. If the network name and its associated computer object name are still not consistent the next time the resource is brought online, an attempt will be made to create a new consistently named computer object.
Event Information According to Microsoft :

Cause :

This event is logged when Cluster network name resource could not completely rename the associated computer object in domain.

Resolution :

Reconcile effects of rename attempt

Either set the clustered network name back to the original name, or contact your domain administrator to rename the computer object in the domain. If the Network Name and its associated computer object name are not consistent the next time the resource is brought online, an attempt will be made to create a new computer object.
