Install-Lab doesn't detect duplicates when parsing the labconfig.xml

[DennisL68]

•PowerShell 5.1
•PowerShell Console as Administrator
•Windows 10 b18362
•LabBuilder v1.0.4.84

As LabBuilder goes ahead with duplicates, it will stop later on with the error:

Set-VMSecurity : The Operation failed.
'SRV SRV' The SecuritySettingData property cannot be modified because the virtual machine is running.

Hi @DennisL68 - thanks for raising this. To confirm, you mean if there are more than one nodes with the same name this occurs? I might be able to prevent this in the XML schema that is used to validate the Lab configuration XML.

Yes, that’s it.

If I for some reason forget to clean up a duplicate VM entry in the lab confíg, that is the behavior.
