Adding re-imaged cluster node back into its original cluster
I had a 2 node cluster in Windows 2012 R2 in which I had to reimage one of the nodes. I'm using VMM to manage this cluster. The re-imaged cluster node is still seen in VMM, but it does not have the SCVMM agent installed and I don't seem to have a way to make VMM talk to the reimaged node. Is there a way I can bring this reimaged node back into VMM *without* killing it completely in VMM and re-adding both the cluster node?

As long as your workloads are running on the good node the "old" node can be properly evicted and the "new" node can be added back into the cluster.

Yes, I've done that. Specifically my issue is with system center's virtual machine manager and add it there. I was unable to, so I removed the cluster and two nodes from VMM, and then readded them. Seemed to be the only way for me to get them both working.
We tend to stick with PowerShell and native tools (Hyper-V Management and Failover Cluster Manager) because VMM is so far behind feature set wise and manageability wise.

I had to find a work around.
Virtualization
Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
