Lost My CF Administrator When Clustering

Need some help, please.  I have two identical CF10 enterprise servers set up with IIS7 on Win2008.  Each has 4 CF instances running.  I decided to experiment with clustering as I''ve run previous version of CF as J2EE instance with much success.

So, on server 1 I registered a remote instance on server 2.  No problem.  I then went into the Cluster Manager and added this remote instance to my existing cluster.  Upon clicking Submit I was greeted by a plain white screen that said only: 503 Server unavailable.  Several refreshes predictably yielded the same thing.

I restarted the CF instance.  Now I get IIS error 500, IsapiFilterModule when trying to access CF Admin

I re-ran my web server connector tool.

I've tried falling back to older server.xml files.

I'm sure something got screwed up when trying add to my cluster but without a CF Admin I'm not sure how to undo this.

All other instances and all remote instance on server 2 are fine.  I can access them with no problem.  But, I cannot access my main CFAdmin on Server 1.

Any help?

    Found my answer a few minutes after posting, thankfully.

    In my CF install directory I found a 'config' folder.  In there I opened the cluster.xml file where I found the cluster config of my server.  I removed the reference to the remote server I had registered and attempted to add to my cluster.  Then I restarted the CF instance and re-ran the web config tool and that fixed it.  Thank God!  Was sweating that one for a while!

    Not sure what happened here because everything is running normally otherwise.  Like I said, I've run multi-instance CF in J2EE mode with much success in the past so this is a disappointment.
