When searching for users, the search shows duplicate personal spaces

unknown

We installed Confluence 4 and used the new AD directory server integration. This has caused us quite a bit of headache, and one of the lingering problems is that when you search for some users, the search shows two entries for their personal space. Both point to the same personal space, since there is only one active space for each user.

How can we prevent this from happening?

This could be caused by a duplicate USERINFO content object, or a corrupted index. I'd suggest to try the following:

Rebuild index from scratch
Try search the following in Confluence:
type:userinfo AND username:affectedUserName
If they still return more than one, then you can query and delete it from the database

Run this query:

SELECT LOWER(c.username)
    FROM CONTENT c
    WHERE
        contenttype LIKE 'USERINFO' AND
        prevver IS NULL
    GROUP BY LOWER(username)
    HAVING count(*)&gt;1;

Delete it. It's quite similar to this known issue: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Duplicates+in+the+People+Directory

how many user repositories do you have? user entries may show up twiec if the user exists in mulitple repositories, possibly internal (old) users of same id vs ldap users (new)?

Some times just disabling the LDAP directory and creating it again might fix this issue, but if the root cause is a corrupted index I believe is necessary to rebuild index from scratch first.
