This will bring you to the ''Add artifacts'' screen.# In the ''Add artifacts'' search field, type '''Time''.# Click on '''Set Time Zone''' in the results listing, then click '''Add''' in the next window.# You'll be returned to the ''Add artifacts'' window.# Add the following additional artifacts:## Firefox## Windows Firewall operations – Enable ICMP (Ping)## Installs the latest Windows Updates# You'll be returned to the ''Add artifacts'' window. Simply click '''OK''' to install them.# The ''Manage Artifacts'' window will return, and a new entry for each artifact will appear. Their statuses will cycle through ''Pending'', ''Installing'', and finally ''Succeeded''.# When all artifacts are in a ''Succeeded'' state, move to Part 2.
