Downloading and installing SMLets

SMLets are a set of PowerShell cmdlets (pronounced as command-lets) to do administrative tasks and automate things in Service Manager. By using the different cmdlets in SMLets you can do things that you are unable to do from the console and create some very powerful scripts. This makes the SMLets a vital part of any Service Manager administrator's toolbox.

Tip

Please note that SMLets is a community-driven project and is not supported by Microsoft.

Getting ready

Make sure that you have local administrator rights on the Service Manager management server in order to install the SMLets.
