Identical values in a field

Question

I have multiple identical values within a field in an attribute table and would like to delete them.  I am using ArcEditor version 10, sp5.  I tried to use the Delete Identical tool in Python but get the "you are not licensed for this tool" message.  there must be another way to accomplish this that I am not aware of.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

Attached in a python script that will select all duplicate records. This will at least ID which ones you need to go through, I would not suggest automating the deleting process as you are not sure which one needs to be deleted.

Best,

Mostly, no, but there are a few that could be a problem.
