Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: A duplicate name “Report” was found

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

When you try to activate ‘Office SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Features’ you get the following error:

Office SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features12/09/2008 16:00:51.91
w3wp.exe (0x1FB8) 0x17B8 Windows SharePoint Services
General 8grz High The feature
’8581a8a7-cf16-4770-ac54-260265ddb0b2′ depends on feature
’43f41342-1a37-4372-8ca0-b44d881e4434′ which failed to activate:
Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: A duplicate name “Report” was found.

The problem occurs if you have created a custom content type called ‘Report’ this is because when you activate ‘Office SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Features’ it trys to create a system content type called ‘Report’. The workaround is to rename your custom content type from ‘Report’ to something similar.
