Hi API team, I'm also experiencing this issue. When creating adGroups with duplicate names, I receive a DUPLICATE_ADGROUP_NAME exception but the duplicate adGroup still gets created. Is this expected behaviour?
If so, what are the recommended handling steps when we receive this error? Check if the duplicate group was in fact created, and then delete? Thanks for your input.
