Due to work restrictions, I unfortunately cannot use linked servers.
I'm wondering if it's possible to query a Central Management Server list created in SSMS using a connection string or something similar from outside of SSMS. Right now the only way that I can find to query it is to actually have SSMS open, right click inside the CMS and create a new query. Is there a way to create a connection string to this CMS so I can query it from from an application?
Thank you!
