The name listed in ADUC is the CN of the user object by default. There are no uniqueness requirements on the CN other than it be unique in its container. If you look at the sAMAccountName (pre-Windows 2000 login) for each object, I'm sure you'll find they are different. I would guess someone has made a copy of the user object and put it in another container. You could use ADSIEdit to find and delete the spurious object.

I always believed this was impossible under every circumstances, but this proved me wrong. every tool I use, including MS's 'Active Directory Users and Computers' gives me duplicate entries for the account membership lists as well as for the group members lists. since I could not find a way to reproduce this on another account, I suppose it must have happened during migration from win nt 4.0. so, does anyone else have experienced this phenomenon or does anybody know the real reason for this?
