Cluster network name resource 'SQL Network Name (VirtualServerName)' failed to create its associated computer object in domain 'domain.com' for the following reason: Unable to create computer account.

The following error has occurred:
The cluster resource 'SQL Server (virtual name)' could not be brought online due to an error bringing the dependency resource 'SQL Network Name (virtual name)' online.

We may recieve this error message while performing SQL Server cluster installation if there is no computer object defined at Active Directory,

1. Create computer object with virtual server name on associated OU
2. Provide full rights to Cluster Name for the added computer object
3. Provide full rights to DBA group (recommended)
