  *RIPng*   
  *RealPlayer*   
  *Replay AV*   
  *Unknown Traffic*   
  *WinMX*   
  *X11*   
  *iMesh*   
* The Management API shows this error message:  
  "*Requested object name \[xxx\] is not unique.*"

## Cause

The Management API limitation causes objects with duplicate names not to be operated by specifying "name".

## Solution

Use the "UID" instead of the "service object name" to differentiate.
