Silently Download and Install SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

SSMS is now free and no longer requiring licensing.
It is a separate install and has a more frequent release cycle, usually around 30 days.
To be able to maintain up to date a larger number of SSMS installations I wrote a PowerShell Script for the task.
Of course that a better approach will be to make the download once and then propagate it to other servers, but for now, this works best for me.

Hope you’ll find it useful.
