Thanks Travis, from your information, from that, I did this:

First you need to create an Alias referencing the UI Administration section. So in between the <References></References> add these lines below:

<ID>Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.UI.Administration</ID>

</Reference>

Verify the <Version> and <PublicKeyToken>. They are probably not the same as this example. The <Version> might be fine, but confirm the <PublicKeyToken>. If you look at the other <Reference> in the management pack, the information should be available, simply select the proper one!

Once the <Reference Alias="Admin"> is added, now add the <Category> in <Categories>. In the <Category>there are 3 properties: ID, Target and Value. Give an ID, any string will do, just kept it short. The Target will be found in the <Presentation><Forms><Form>, it is the ID. Simply copy it, it will point the proper form. Then add this Value "Admin!Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.UI.Administration.Enumeration.HideExtensionTab".

Here how it should look like:

…

<Category

ID="HideExtension"

Target="CustomForm_7fc9297a_8e75_4a5e_b8d0_6f966109a680"

Value="Admin!Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.UI.Administration.Enumeration.HideExtensionTab">

</Category>

</Categories>

<Forms>

<Form

ID="CustomForm_7fc9297a_8e75_4a5e_b8d0_6f966109a680"

Accessibility="Public" Target="CustomForm_7fc9297a_8e75_4a5e_b8d0_6f966109a680_TypeProjection" BaseForm="Alias_6d3e0e7d_65b2_4264_8e73_66cc02faeb37!CostCenterForm" TypeName="Provance.ServiceManager.Itam.Presentation.CostCenterForm">

</Form>

</Forms>

</Presentation>

Have fun customizing your forms!!!

Travis, thank you! Another hair-pulling moment adverted...

@djk - Yes, Magic! The incident form has some code behind that runs when the form loads that looks for the existence of this Category. If present it doesnt show the Extensions tab.

BTW - although I havent tried it, this will probably work for any Form. You would just need to change the Target attribute value in the Category element to point to a different Form element.

Wondering how does that really work... MP is so simple! Some hidden (built-in) magic in SCSM?
