I'm confused by the statement. Is your problem with duplicates or case-sensitivity or both?
I would expect some issues with case when it comes to Kerb realms depending on how you have that implemented and what realms are involved. The regular day-to-day Active Directory only wouldn't care about case. Duplicates would be different and those should be eliminated. Can you give some more details about what you're seeing?

Regarding user names, we see problems involving Kerberos authentication across realms or via outside authentication methodologies and possibly in the use of KX509 certificates. Regarding computer names, we see problems involving SMS client lists with the same computer being listed twice. While our normal procedures create lowercase user names, we do have some with all uppercase or mixed case that were migrated from child domains where there was not as much standardization. I don't recall this subject coming up on this list and wonder if there are other issues regarding case sensitivity that are going to bite us in the a**. I am pushing for both user and computer names to be all lowercase. Comments appreciated. Michael M.
