I think this is the last of my issues causing my replication problems. What caused this is that I do have multiple helpdesk personnel that had been updating user accounts. This process has been resolved, but we can't seem to remove the last few duplicates.

So conflict resolution does not arbitrarily throw one away, but renames it and leaves it to the admin, which on to keep. So you should have one entry

But everything I try to delete fails.  Is there a procedure in 389-DS I can read for this? Maybe I am missing an option in ldapmodify? I am happy to delete, if only it would let me.
