Yes.  There is a way to find duplicate servicePrincipelName (SPN) or hosts by using ‘ldapsearch’ command.
 
Run the following command as root on Unix/Linux host to find out the computer object with duplicate SPN:
 
# /usr/share/centrifydc/bin/ldapsearch -m -Q -LLL -H "ldap://" -b <Base_DN> '(servicePrincipalName=*/<Hostname>*)' dn serviceprincipalname
