I'm in the process of developing a custom MMC 3.0 snap-in and was wondering if there is some built in SDK/API way of connecting to another computer running the same snap-in? If so, can someone provide some code samples or links to tutorials on how this is possible? If it is not possible, what do you recommend to use for communicating with other machines? Would there need to be a separate service on the remote machine to accept and propagate the actions taken on the remote instance? Any help on this would be great.
Thank you,
Scott
No, the "Connect to another computer..." is implemented by Window's 'Computer Management' snapin, not MMC.
As for how to communicate with other machines, there's various options. You'll need to give more detail about what you want to do and what tools you are using, in order to get some suggestions.
