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 Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2013 08:17:42 +0100 Subject: Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Validation failed: Host already has a report for time and kind From: ke...@burdis.org To: puppet-users@googlegroups.com This could be an issue with time on the host being inconsistent. Is it configured to use NTP to sync against a time server? - Keith On 11 Jun 2013 05:06, "Luke Vidler" <luke.vid...@gmail.com> wrote: Me Three, same versions and errors - Did you guys work out how to fix it yet?

All our nodes poll on a cronjob between 00:00 and 01:00 daily, but one node has been getting this as a failed task for a while, with the yaml files building up on the server. Outside of this one cronjob, other puppet runs on the same node are running just fine.
