I am trying to setup a compute node with Windows HPC Server 2008. After changing the network topology, I have a compute node that is stuck in the "Provisioning" state. I have tried the following to get it unstuck:
* Rebooted both the head node and the compute node. * Tried to use the Cluster Manager UI to cancel the operations. But the "Cancel" option is greyed out.
The problem is that when a node is in this state, it can't even be deleted (which would allow me to start over!).
Try set-hpcnodestate -force -state offline -name <nodename> inside the powershell on the headnode. It might take a reboot to do so but it should work in the current release.

PS: I had the same problem but currently I cannot find the thread that covered this. JH
