Event ID: 7023 - A Duplicate Name Exists on the Network (Split Registration Behavior)
Posted on September 10th, 2007 by thehabgroup
The error message “Event ID: 7023 A Duplicate Name Exists on the Network” is typically caused when one of the following occurs:
- A multihomed computer has the WINS Client [TCP/IP] protocol or the NetBEUI protocol enabled on both network adapters.
- Multiple Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) servers are present in the network environment, but replication between them is not configured.
- WINS clients are registering with more than one WINS server.
When you have a WINS issue, check the WINS tab of the TCP/IP Advanced Properties of the problem client/server. Verify that WINS servers are only pointing to itself and not to a partner for WINS registration. If the system is split registered, this will lead to WINS database corruption and several name resolution errors.
