Remote desktop to a VM that is on ESXi v4.0

Question

Hello I am new to xml and would like to compare some values using an xsl stylesheet

`<a>
 <b>   <name>foo</name>   </b>
 <b>   <name>bar</name>   </b>
 <b>   <name>fred</name>  </b>
 <b>   <name>fred</name>  </b>
 </a>`

I would like to write a style sheet that checks all the b nodes and returns the values that have the same value so using the simple example above i would like the output to resemble :
"Your duplicate strings are fred"

I have used a for each loop to return all the values but comparing the names and returning the duplicates has eluded me.If possible i would like to achieve the comparison by the use of a while type loop.

Thank you for any help.

Solution 1

Have you enabled Remote Desktop on the VM itself?

Start+PauseBreak > Remote > Check 'Allow users to remotely connect'

Solution 2

In general I always check:

• Will the firewall allow my connection?
• Is remote desktop allowed?
• Is remote desktop configured to allow requesting client's remote desktop version?
• Do I have the network enabled and configured on every dependent device? (This is actually overlooked sometimes..)
• Do the windows license allow more than one concurrent session? If not; is no one else using the host at the moment?

I hope this helps.

Solution 3

I had to enable the RDP in Terminal Services Configuration and pick the Vmware virtual interface. I did get a prompt once I went to the adpaters tab that the the interfacoe had changed and I needed to select one.

+1 pragmatic solution. On a general note, you should avoid "naked" text nodes in your XSL. Rather use <xsl:text>.

Thank you very much for your insight and help this solution worked for me very well.

@tomalak: This certainly can be done a little bit more efficiently, not using count() and without any xsl:for-each .

@Dimitre That's why I gave my +1 to your answer. :)

@Tomalak: The XSLT 2.0 solution and the XPath 2.0 one-liner could also be interesting to you :)
