Managing subscribers from remote machine?

It looks like I can manage mostly everything within NS schema remotely, except subscribers and subscriptions.

The SubscriberEnumeration class wants an NSInstance reference, which only works running on local SQL server. As it reads and writes directly to the registry.

Is there something that I’m over looking to be able to enumerate the subscribers for an instance from a remote machine?

Install the client tools and then register the SSNS instance on the remote machine. That'll give you the API and registry entries you'll need.

I have looked through the enumeration class. It only works on the local SQL server; I cannot use the class on my client machine and manage the subscriptions remotely with it. I have although, found that for every Instance's database, there are stored procedures that i can call to get a list of subscribers and devices and so fourth.

|||The SSNS API can be used from a remote machine. In fact, this is the most common deployment scenario - SSNS running on one server, the backend database running on a separate server, and the Subscription Management Application running on a web server.

To gain access to the remote instance of SSNS you'll need to install the client components and register the instance (pointing it to the remote server that hosts the instance, this will create the necessary registry entries, performance counters for you).

Here are a few links that may help.
