The rabbitmqctl script is a wrapper that starts an Erlang instance to
speak to a Rabbit instance that is running in a different VM, so by
default, it is remoting out of the box, albeit most people run it on
it the same machine as the server is running, so you don't notice
intra-VM communication. To get this to work over a real network, it is
a case of setting the correct cookies on both ends so that each VM is
friends with each other.

The .NET client OTOH is just a plain jane AMQP wire client, so it can
only do what AMQP can do.

Furthermore, there are many threads on this list that surround
(remote) management - there might be something of interest to you
there.

HTH,

Ben
