Download the Materials

Position yourself on a computer that is accessible from all the central servers you will implement, and preferably at least some of your inventory beacons.

Important: You must download and unzip the archives to a high level folder such as C:\Temp\FNMSDownloads\ to avoid creating long file paths that may exceed the windows path limit of 260 characters and cause an error when running PowerShell scripts.
