Is it possible to run the "ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool" on a remote server?

Question

I know how to launch the "ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool" from Visual Studio and modify the security settings in the web.config of my Web project.

However, can I use the same tool to configure a remote website (hosted in some server), without Visual Studio (just as a website?)

If it's not possible. Is there a control that I can add to my website to administer the same settings?

Answer 1

You can point your SQL Server connection string to your remote SQL Server, so seems you're configuring a local instance, but data are being persisted on a remote location.
