SYMPTOMS
When you try to add a client through the Internet Authentication Service (IAS) snap-in, you may receive either of the following error messages:

There was an error writing the client name

-or-

An error occurred while writing the client name. A duplicate name already exists or IAS is unable to access the database.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur if the client that you want to add has a Friendly Name that is identical to that of an existing client.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, re-create the IAS client with a different Friendly Name.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
