We have always had problems with addressbook duplicates, but as we do not use Snow leopard server addressbook server, and we tried iHub but couldn't get it to work across our VPN. So we use other means to sync a number of our macs and their addressbooks. WE have tried everything but still get a vast array of addressbook duplicates and spend ages trying to work out where they come from and who created them.
"Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server Unlimited Client (PC DVD)" (Apple)
Yes we use the find duplicates in the addressbook menu bar, but it was not always working
The we then found a couple of apple scripts and have attached them here for you to use at you own risk, both script put duplicates into a seprate folder in your addressbook and let you do the deleting, one puts pairs of records in in and the other just the duplicate record for you to trash.
If you have an answer to this problem please tell us.
Cudos for the writing and design of the scripts goes to others, so if they are yours we are happy to credit you further or give links to further work you may have produced
Please download the scripts from the forum here: SCRIPTS
