[Puppet Users] Re: Validation failed: Host already has a report for time and kind

Me Three, same versions and errors - Did you guys work out how to fix it
yet?

This could be an issue with time on the host being inconsistent. Is it
configured to use NTP to sync against a time server?

Every time that I've received this error, it was because 2 different hosts had the same cert name.
In my case a problem caused by system cloning or a system template that contained a cert name.

Hope that helps,

Steven
