3 duplicate PUIDs found while initializing Domino Domain Monitoring

The server runs a special check on the Events4.nsf database to detect seplication conflicts or duplicate Event documents in Events4.nsf. This check is performed because any conflict or duplicate documents could cause problems with Domino domain monitoring. Additionally, there is a check performed to detect documents with duplicate PUIDs.
What is PUID?
Every probe document in DDM.nsf has an associated PUID (probe unique ID) and duplicate PUIDs could cause problems with Domino domain monitoring. If duplicate PUIDs are found, an event report document with the text X duplicate PUIDs found is generated and the console command to resolve the duplicates is provided. If any conflicts or duplicates are found, an Event report document is created in DDM.nsf, which by default provides a console command that can be used to resolve the problem:

"tell event delduppuids"

After dropping this command on the server you see the following response:

"Cleaning of duplicate DDM.NSF reports has completed. 3 documents were deleted."

You can also try to set Delete_Duplicate_Puid_Notes=1 in the notes.ini from your server.
