Problem adding ESXi hosts to Vsphere

Hi,

Had a server crash recently so I had to reinstall Vsphere on a new server, but when I try to add a ESXi host to my newly created datacenter I get this error message:

"Cannot install the vCenter agent service. Cannot upload agent"

I also see an error on the ESXi hosts:

"Create user: "The specified key, name or identifier already exists"

I currenly have three ESXi hosts in my network, and all of them have been in the old Vsphere enviroment before. Im guessing the problem are related to that. Is there any way to uninstall the old vcenter agent directly from the ESXi hosts? Or is it something else?

Take a look at Verifying and reinstalling the correct version of the VirtualCenter Server agents
