IIS: Cannot add duplicate collection entry
Running IIS 7.5 (Windows 7) on a development machine when I visit a site I have been working on and get the following error: What?!?

Repairing Exchange Discovery Mailboxes
I went to perform a Discovery Search on our Exchange 2010 server for the first time since installing the server. Naturally, there was a problem. When trying to create a search using the Exchange Control Panel (ECP) the response was an error and the search could not be saved.
