Casper Suite Administrator's Guide v8.7 - JAMF Software

Using the Self Healing Feature
In order to utilize the Self Healing feature, you must enforce Self Healing on your client computers.
Before you enforce Self Healing, make sure the following requirements are met:
• The package that contains the triggering file is indexed. (For more information, see the “Indexing
Packages” section.)
• The Self Healing feature is enabled. (For more information, see the “Enabling the Self Healing Feature”
section.)
• Each client computer on which you want to enforce Self Healing has Autorun data that includes the
package that contains the triggering file. (For more information on creating Autorun data, see the
section entitled “Using the Autorun Feature”.)
After you enforce Self Healing, a log of each Self Healing event is stored in the JAMF Software Server (JSS).
