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.

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.
