Initial Setup
During the connector installation, the default settings will be applied. In most cases, these will be a reasonable starting point. Before any ACE recommendations can be reviewed it's necessary to run through these steps:

- It may be helpful to tick the option Periodically Sync ManagementStudio ACE Server -> Save Changes to prevent having to run this task manually
