How to rename item from sealed MP in SCSM
Some time you need to rename items in sealed management pack. For unsealed it’s can be done easily: export, change the value and import again, instead of sealed MPs, which we can’t change and reimport to SCSM. But management pack engine is pretty well then we talk about localization. Let’s see how to implement this.
Different between “Create Date” and “Time Added” fields
Almost all objects created inside SCSM has a two similar fields: “Create Date” and “Time Added”. But in many case value of those fields can be very different. But why this happened and what value are stored at those fields?

Create custom UserControl for SCSM 2010 SP1
Intro
I’ve already saw many questions on forums about extending SCSM with new forms and\or custom user’s controls. So I wrote this article to show how we can extend SCSM with user control only. As for me, I prefer to use custom control without rewriting entire form because User Control provide excellent ability to change form’s logic and visibility, but they require much less work unlike the creation of new form and replace existing one. Another reason – new version of SCSM, which expected at Q4 2011 – Q1 2012. It’s a very small chance what if you rewrote entire form it will be work with SCSM 2012.

Run SMLets’s cmdlets from remote server
![powershell[1]](http://blog.scsmsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/powershell1.png "powershell[1]")
Many cmlets from SMLets module has the –ServerName or –SCSMSession parameters. The first of them never worked (rise the error), with second you must use session’s variable each time then execute the command and not all of the cmdlets support this pararmeter. But the SMLets has the solution to run all cmdlets again server which are differ from localhost.
To do that you must set the $smdefaultcomputer variable before import SMLets module. So your script must be something like that:
$smdefaultcomputer = "SCSMSERVER" import-module SMLets # Put here any SCSM's cmdlet
