Abstract
The present invention relates to the remote activation of a system diagnostic for a customer. The system so activated is resident at the customer location. The activation is initiated at a location remote from the customer location. The activation of the diagnostic may also include correction and optimization of the system if it is determined that it is needed. Any such initiated system activity would most typically be performed after hours. The system then communicates locally to the customer the diagnostic results as found, as well as any other action taken.
