Re: Querying a remote servers catalog

1) yes you can, but the account you access the remote catalog must have
logon interactive rights on the remote machine. You must also grant the
everyone group read permission to the indexing Services registry keys.

2) Yes, not they don't have to be in the same domains, but the "crawl"
account must have rights to read the remote share/virtual directory. What
you are describing is possible but you will have to take care to
programmatically render vpath to point to the correct source.
