Duplicate/ambiguous addresses in iMS 6.3

I've just migrated from iMS 5.2 to iMS 6.3-1.04. Our old iMS used dirsync, so direct comparisons are difficult, but when email addresses which used to be considered unique are used in the new system, I'm getting the "duplicate/ambiguous" error.
Here's the sample LDAP from one of the affected users, who married, and carried two LDAP entries (serial numbers filed off):
dn: uid=abcde, ou=nsPeople, o=company.com, c=US
mailalternateaddress: [email protected]
mail: [email protected]
maildeliveryoption: forward
mailforwardingaddress: [email protected]
objectclass: mailrecipient
mailhost: mailhub.company.com
inetmail: yes
dn: uid=12345,ou=nsPeople,o=company.com,c=US
mailalternateaddress: [email protected]
mail: [email protected]
mailforwardingaddress: [email protected]
objectclass: mailrecipient
Our old iMS 5.2 system keyed only on "objectclass: mailrecipient" for valid entries, but when you send to "[email protected]" it had no problem forwarding to the Exchange address.
The new iMS 6.3 system views both as valid. Is there some way to set an LDAP filter on an attribute which will let iMS 6.3 pick out valid email? iMS 5.2 had the "local.imta.ugfilter", but iMS 6.3 has nothing like that I can find.
Any help is appreciated!

Hi,
dn: uid=abcde, ou=nsPeople, o=company.com, c=US
mailalternateaddress: [email protected]

mailforwardingaddress: [email protected]
objectclass: mailrecipient
Our old iMS 5.2 system keyed only on "objectclass:
mailrecipient" for valid entries, but when you send
to "[email protected]" it had no problem
forwarding to the Exchange address.Do you mean "objectclass: mailrecipient" or "inetmail: yes"? Both accounts have the former so wouldn't this have caused confusion with dirsync?
The new iMS 6.3 system views both as valid. Is there
some way to set an LDAP filter on an attribute which
will let iMS 6.3 pick out valid email? iMS 5.2 had
the "local.imta.ugfilter", but iMS 6.3 has nothing
like that I can find.Ideally you should be looking at cleaning up the duplicate addresses -- so having a one-to-one model (one email address per account). Anything else is bound to lead to problems in the future.
One thing you may want to try is to add the following to the inactive account:
"mailuserstatus: deleted"
From the Messaging Server Admin Guide:
"Sanity Checks on the LDAP Result: After the LDAP search has returned a result, it is checked to verify that there is only one entry in it. If there are more than one, each entry is checked to see if it has the right object class for a user or a group, a non-deleted status, and for users, a UID. Entries that do not pass this check are ignored. If the list of multiple entries is reduced to one by this check, processing proceeds. If not, a duplicate or ambiguous directory error is returned."
The one downside I can see with this is that if you run a commadmin purge or similar it could remove the entry (since its marked deleted) - this is something you would need to test.

Shane.

Duplicate/ambiguous directory match

I'm using IMS 5.2 Patch 2
One of my email user try to send email to his account using his yahoo email account, but he received bounce back email with the error
[email protected] Mailbox unknown or not accepting mail.
553 5.1.4 duplicate/ambiguous directory match: [email protected]
before last week, he was able to send email to the address....

"duplicate/ambiguous" means that something has changed in the ldap response for that uid. Usually it means that somebody has added the same mail address as "mailAlternateAddress" or such. Check what the ldap response is to the search, and you'll see most likely that the search response includes, "nentries=2" or something like that.
Mail addresses have to be unique. . .

New iCloud email account not working - duplicate/ambiguous directory match error

I set myself up a new iCloud account this morning once I got iOS 5 loaded on my iPhone 3GS. I was able to create a new @me.com email address, but I think I might have stepped on someone else's existing address as when I send it email, I get a rejection immediately with "duplicate/ambiguous directory entry". iCloud email doesn't work on iCloud.com, and iCloud mail account on the iPhone tells me the user or password is incorrect.
Other than that, iOS 5 is working great so far!

Same symptoms - let's look at the "cause". I was digging in my iPhone settings and although I did everything as prompted in the iCloud setup here is what has actually happened under the hood.
First - What iCloud guided me to do.
•I had a @mac Apple ID I decided to use it for iCloud
•iCloud said I neeeded a new @me address to use mail and iMessaging and asked me to set one up
•I set up a new @me email address
Sencond - The Results
•I can receive email at my new @me address (expected)
•I can login to iCloud online with my old Apple ID (expected)
•I can not send outgoing mail - error on password (unexpected)
Third - Under the Hood (Settings that are a little odd)
On my iPhone, under Settings -> Mail, Contacts, etc -> iCloud -> Account,
At the very bottom under "Advanced" is the email info, now this should be the new active @me address but its NOT! It's my old AppleID with the @mac address - which of course no one can use for "real email" anymore.
iCloud on my phone is attempting to use my @mac address for outgoing messages!!!! ARGH!
WORSE is you can not edit this! You can click and see details, change the "name" but you can not change the address!
I think this might be the issue for all of us on this thread - check it out and see. If so it's something we will def. have to have a fix from apple for. :-( That or perhaps delete your iCloud account, your existing Apple ID and get a new @me Apple ID that will work for email as well. (PITA!) I hope we get a fix from Apple.

How to delete the duplicate email address in BP master data

Hi,
When you get an email ids from the third party vendor and you are loading into CRM BP master data. how to delete the duplicate email address already exits in the system. In CRM you can create the same BP with different id. I would like to know how to delete the email address during importing email addresses from the third party tool.
During the campaign you are sending email to all your customers, when the customer want to unsubscibe the email address from your list, how to unsubcribe the email address and how to updat the BP master data.
If you are sending the email to customer, you are using html or simple text, if the customer wants only html or simple text, how you to specify in the system?
thanks,
arul

Hello Arul,
welcome to the SDN CRM Development forum.
1. I think you should clear the data with duplicate E-Mail adresses in the external tool.
2. Unsubscription could be done by a Marketing Attribute which could be set by using a Target Group which is created by Campaign Automation. Have a look at this Toppic. There is also a Best Practice avaliable at http://help.sap.com/bp_crmv340/CRM_DE/index.htm.
3. Also HTML or Simple text can be mained in a Marketing Attribute. You have to use different Mail Forms to which are sent to different Target groups.

TS1398 I used to be able to connect to this wifi. Now I am unable to do so because there is a duplicate IP address. This is there error it gives me. I tried everything in this article but nothing works. please help.

Everytime I try to connect, it gives me a message which reads http://www.apple.com Duplicate IP address: you must login with a different IP address". Help!

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
And reboot the Wi-Fi router.

Duplicate IP address using Mirrored switch ports

Hi All,
Here's a good one. We use Websence and have an agent installed on one of our T1 Netras in a routed subnet. To collect info from all the traffic in that subnet we mirrored the uplink port to the gateway. Thus all traffic on that port is mirrored to the Solaris 10 box. Shortly after mirroring we started receiving duplicate ip address errors.
Hardware address '00:03:XX:XX:XX:XX' trying to be our address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.
With further investigation we discovered that when we ping a host that exists no error is generated. Pinging an ip that is not there produces the errors!
It seems that an ARP request that is not answered is being bounced back through the mirrored port. When the box sees this it thinks that another box is trying to send out the ARP broadcast.
With valid IP with snoop:
SUN01 -> 192.XXX.XXX.4 ICMP Echo request (ID: 615 Sequence number: 0)
192.XXX.XXX.4 -> (broadcast) ARP C Who is 192.XXX.XXX.10, SUN01 ?
SUN01 -> 192.XXX.XXX.4 ARP R 192.XXX.XXX.10, SUN01 is 0:3:ba:27:2e:9d
192.XXX.XXX.4 -> SUN01 ICMP Echo reply (ID: 615 Sequence number: 0)
With invalid IP with snoop:
SUN01 -> (broadcast) ARP C Who is 192.XXX.XXX.2, 192.XXX.XXX.2 ?
SUN01 -> (broadcast) ARP C Who is 192.XXX.XXX.2, 192.XXX.XXX.2 ?
No i didn't copy and paste it twice!! :p
Since nothing responds the box assumes that the message came from someone else. Its like talking into a mirror thinking that the reflection is speaking for you so you stop and complain that his lips moved!!
When looking at the arp table we found only a hand full of entries. Since there are around a 10 nodes we should see more. We removed the publish flag for the host and the duplicate IP problem goes away. Fixed, sorta. when all the arp caches clear we might run into the issue of not being able to communicate with it.
The cache on the box quickly filled up with arp entries. Another note, we use this box as a DHCP/BootP relay. Not sure if this will be affected.
I guess a possible workaround would be to set up an ARP proxy for this box , but not sure it will still report that there is another box with the same IP on the network.
Any Help with this is appreciated.
thank you

Sorry been on vacation the last couple of weeks...
I created this little script to fix the problem
root@srelay01:/etc/rc2.d> more S05arpset
#!/bin/sh
arp -s srelay01 00:03:ba:27:2e:9d
if you find that you need to broadcast try using the -p switch with it on another box. The problem is gone and the system interacts on the network fine. I would still love to know why this happens.
Good luck!

Are you sure this MAC address 58:b0:35:83:72:86 isn't some type of Apple device? Its OUI is registered to apple. How do clients get ip addresses DHCP? It appears that the IP 10.184.1.224 is statically assigned to your ap-manager and that this client 58:b0:35:83:72:86 is either getting that same IP from DHCP or the client is statically assigning it themselves.

Can't remove duplicates in Address Book

Have lots of duplicates in Address Book since moving to iCloud. Went to Card>Look for Duplicate. It found a few and so merged them but there are still lots of identical cards that are not recognized as duplicates. Is there a simple, easy way to remove them? Otherwise, I may have to spend hours doing it manually.

If you click on File, and choose New Group, does the same thing happen?
What keyboard and mouse are you using?

How do i eliminate duplicates in address book/contacts across multiple devices?

i have old iMac G5, iPhone4; recently added new iMac, iPad2, & Time Capsule, so i have multiple contacts & address books that i need to consolidate without having 3 duplicates of the same person every time i update? Please help? Thank You!

Since upgrading to iPhone 4S and using iCloud, I have eliminated the duplicates in the address book, but not the calendar. Once all devices were setup for iCloud, I had duplicates in address book and contacts on my iPhone. So in settings on the iPhone for iCloud, I turned off calendar and address book. After a few minutes I turned those back on. Then, it synced with iCloud and no duplicates. At least in address book. The calendar continues to display duplicate appointments.
It's frustrating. Maybe all of us Apple users just don't know how to do this corectly. But it seems like a bug. Otherwise, why not address the confusion in the marketplace and post online training for how to sync all your devices without creating duplicates. Since that solution/training has never surfaced, I say this is a long standing bug in the system and Apple has never figured it out. It remains one of the few complaints I have about Apple. Wish they would get it right.

Duplicate IP address detected in WCS

Hi to Cisco Support Community,
I would like to verify some questions regarding our network setup for wireless devices.
We have here in our client a 5508 WLC version 6.0.196.0 and WCS version 7.0.164.0 using windows platform.
My concern is that there is always a duplicate IP address detected by the WCS and when we trace the machine given its MAC address, we found out that the machine is a printer with a static IP of different IP address not the same to the management IP address of the WLC.
I have already disabled the port where the machine detected is terminated and still experiencing the same issue.
Is this a software bug or some sort of network issue? Please advice.
Thank you in advance!
Regards,
Joghson

Hi,
I have raised the issue with TAC and they told me that this is a software issue, we are currently making packet sniffs which is needed by the software developer. I will give you updates on this.
Thanks!

Windows 7 / 2008 duplicate static address when using 802.1x / MAB - ISE

Hi all!
ISE 1.1.3
Cisco 3750 switches
Windows XP / 7 / 2008 clients
I'm having some weird issues were if a client connects to a switchport and happens to be using a static IP address then the client warns of a duplicate address problem. Also the client will then only show the default gateway within ipconfig even though the IP address / mask is still in the GUI network properties of the adaptor. This is happening with Windows 7 and Windows 2008 devices.
Windows XP clients don't get the issue.
Some clients will use 802.1x native supplicant and some will be authenticated based on MAB. Not noticed the problem with 802.1x clients but it always occurs on MAB.
I came across a similar issue here:
http://networkingblog.vvlabs.com/2012/07/cisco-ise-duplicate-ip-address-windows-7.html
Going of that blog I tried using the "ip device tracking delay probe delay" command but the switches don't recognise the "delay" keyword.
The switches are 3750 switches running version 12.2(58)SE2.
All I have is "count, interval, use-svi" as extra options.
Catalyst 4500 switch guide has "delay" option but no "count, interval or use-svi".
The only way I have managed to avoid the problem is using the second solution which is a registry hack on each client. This is fine for the odd server but not realistic when there will be hundreds of other clients.
Any ideas?

Hi
We are doing 802.1x for clients using the Windows supplicant. For clients not using supplicants we are using MAB. So the print servers and printers use MAB.

Hyper-V cluster validation report "Found duplicate physical address" on nic team interfaces.

I recently built a Windows 2012 Hyper-V cluster with 5 nodes. The validation report shows “duplicate physical address” error (error text pasted below).
The hardware: HP BladeSystem – servers are BL460c blades, in a c7000 enclosure, connected to HP Virtual Connect switches.
Each server has 2 physcal nics, teamed in Windows. In the NIC Teaming console, I created the following Team Interfaces and assigned each a VLAN ID:
“Team1” (the default team)
“Team1 - VLAN 204 – Management”
“Team1 - VLAN 212 - 2012HB”
“Team1 - VLAN 211 -Exchange DAG Replication”
I also created 2 HV Virtual Switches. Neither one allows management interface to share. They are assigned to “Team1” and “Team1 - VLAN 211 -Exchange DAG Replication” respectively.
Therefore, in Network Connection, I see the 2 physical Ethernet nics, and 4 “virtual” nics. Only 2 of them have IP addresses assigned: Management and HB. These are the two that the validation wizard complains
about.
The MAC address is not configurable in the NIC Teaming console, so I don’t see a way to resolve this error, except to use separate physical nics. I don’t want to do that because a) I would lose the benefits of
the bandwidth aggregation that Virtual Connect provides, and b) When creating an Interface on a Team in Windows, it looks like it ALWAYS gives it the same MAC address, so that should be a supported configuration.
Everything works just fine, and there are no other errors or IP conflicts or anything else. But I really want to fix it because I don’t know what unknown problems this may be causing.
From the Cluster Validation report:
Found duplicate physical address 10-60-4B-A9-4A-30 on node Cluster201.OurDomain.local adapter

Hi Dan,
"It turns out that both hosts had the same default MAC address ranges for their virtual switches. Since the host vNICs were attached to the virtual switch on each host they received the first couple of MAC addresses from the switches.
For details please refer to following link:

Duplicate IP address

I am getting a duplicate IP address error message in system.log quite often. I've pasted it below. This is occurring on multiple Macs at the office. The address that is in the message is the address of the computer itself. It doesn't matter if the network is configured DHCP or manual. Still get the same message, with different IP addresses being report of course. From another machine I can ping 10.1.3.1 and the correct Mac responds. I disconnect the network to 10.1.3.1 and ping and there is no response. The network never goes down, which does happen when you really have duplicate IPs on the network.
The switch that we are connecting to is a Cisco 6509 with VLANs on it. The VLANs are separate and don't interact. The net mask for the network is class A.
Everything I have search for on the net says "you have another computer with the same IP" but I KNOW that is not the case.
Anyone have any ideas?

Duplicate the Address book ?

How do I copy / duplicate my Address book that is on iCloud so I have a non cloud copy on my Mini or is there a method to sync both?
Cheers

If you are using Outlook 2011, make sure you have the latest service pack and update.
Make sure your Mac Book and all devices have the latest update.
If the Calendar on the Mac Book is correct go to step 3
Assuming Mac Book Calendar is correct, remove accounts from iPhone, iPad.
Reconnect account to iPhone, iPad account.
All calendars should now be in sync.
There are times when the Mail, Calendar, Contact application has been corrupted (Outlook 2011, Mac Mail, Entourage, etc). This will cause all kinda of issues on your devices. You have to repair the mail client first. In the case of Outlook you can delete the profile and recreate it. In Mac Mail you can rebuild (from Tools on the menu bar)
