duplicate name exists on network

[leocubs89]

Bug report

OSIsoft.AF.PI.PIConnectionException: [52] You were not connected because a duplicate name exists on the network. If joining a domain, go to System in Control Panel to change the computer name and try again. If joining a workgroup, choose another workgroup name.

Description

I was running my code in a loop

While ...
with PI.PIServer(server=region) as server:
........

and I would get the error above. I can change the loop to only run the with three times but I still get the error.
real kicker is sometimes I will get the error right away if I try to rerun my code for a while. Anyway to make sure I am not still connected to the network?

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

While ...
with PI.PIServer(server=region) as server:
........

Expected behavior

I want to connect to the PI server

Possible solutions

I need to make sure I am signed out or disconnect within my code

you could try calling server.connection.Disconnect() manually, although that should execute anyway once the with block ends. However, given the description on the exception I suspect a network configuration error which your IT department should look into..
