#Setup and Configuration To create the connector described in this section, configure the tabs in the Management Agent Designer as described in the Windows PowerShell Connector for FIM 2010 R2 Technical Reference.

By default, the Extensions folder can be found at:

Paste the data located in this file in to SampleInputFile.txt.
