Provisioning "Fails" IP Address and DNS Name have been taken

Support
1

I have a new implementation of Foreman 1.9.2 and I am running the 1.9
Windows Smart-Proxy on my 2012R2 DHCP server. When I provision a host
everything goes as expected until Foreman is waiting for the host to become
available. During this part of provisioning I get a "failure" that tells me
in the Interface configuration the DNS name and IP Address have already
been taken. The strange thing is the server build and configuration still
goes as expected and if I look at the all hosts page the new host is there
in good status.

Foreman 1.9.2
Foreman Windows DHCP Smart-Proxy 1.9.2
Windows Server 2012R2 (DHCP)
CentOS 6.7 (Foreman)
Foreman Memcache Plugin

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. There is nothing in the
production.log or the proxy.log that show any errors and I have both set to
debug.

Sorry for the slow reply Chris - just an idle thought, is this in the UI or API?

I occaisonally get issues with my setup where editing a Host and
saving it again leads me to the Overwrite confirmation (which looks
remarkably like a fail, the Overwrite button is red). In the API iirc
it auto-fails such conflicts, as there's no interactive element that
can ask for confirmation of an overwrite. I've never gotten around to
debugging my setup, since if I accept the overwrite it's generally
fine.

No worries. I am provisioning through the webUI. I have to do some more
digging but when I have the developer tools on using firefox i do see a
bunch of these errors around the time the error
happens http://pastebin.com/4PNuGd9V. I can also see a duplicate post
command in the logs trying to build the host again. It's very strange since
I haven't seen this before in my lab environment which is heavily used.

Ooh, a duplicate POST sounds very odd, and not what I was referring
to, indeed. I wonder what's causing that?
