If an error occurs at a client, JP1/Software Distribution can notify the server automatically (report an alert). By controlling a malfunctioning remote client from the server, (remote control), the system administrator can directly check the problem and recover from the malfunction (error).

This section describes how an error is reported from a client to the server, how the server checks the malfunctioning client, and how a remote client can be controlled from the server.
