KDC error event, multiple accounts with name... of type...

Server 2003 standard 32x machine getting an event error (over and over again). THe source in the event properties is KDC. The event ID is 11. THe description is " THere are multiple accounts with name MSSQLSvc/v2.<domain name>.com:1433 of type DS_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_NAME."

Apparently kerberos is having fits about this and I should just delete one or both of these instances. Problem is I cant seem to find them. I have looked in Active Directory andhave tried using the ADISedit utility that comes with Windows Support Tools. The ADISedit utility doesnt seem to have search capabilities and has a ton of area to cover. Is it searchable?

How do I find these instances and correct this problem?

Have you used LDP? This link goes over the steps. I recently had this issue too but it was with the shortname. I found the server in another child domain. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321044

I have not used LDP. I have ran it now though and recieved the following output using the filter - (serviceprincipalname=host/v2.mojogar.com).

***Searching...
ldap_search_s(ld, "DC=mojogar,DC=com", 2, "(serviceprincipalname=host/v2.mojogar.com)", attrList, 0, &msg)
Result <0>: (null)
Matched DNs:
Getting 1 entries:
>> Dn: CN=V2,CN=Computers,DC=mojogar,DC=com
5> objectClass: top; person; organizationalPerson; user; computer;
1> cn: V2;
1> distinguishedName: CN=V2,CN=Computers,DC=mojogar,DC=com;
1> name: V2;
1> canonicalName: mojogar.com/Computers/V2;
so how do I use this information and apply it to the event error of;

Event Type: Error
Event Source: KDC
Event Category: None
Event ID: 11
User: N/A
Computer: WHITE
Description:
There are multiple accounts with name MSSQLSvc/v2.mojogar.com:1433 of type DS_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_NAME.
Am I using the wrong filter string query?

Do you have another account that has the same name in the forest?
