Deploy TeamViewer on Device Groups via Microsoft Intune

We recommend following the steps listed below chronologically to set up your TeamViewer Corporate or Tensor license using Microsoft Endpoint Manager.

This series of articles apply to Corporate and Tensor license holders using TeamViewer 15 or newer who want to deploy the TeamViewer solution within Microsoft Endpoint Manager.

Note: This guide is for Windows devices (e.g. Desktop PCs or Laptops).

Step 1: Create your company (with a Master account)

Step 2: Add your users to your company

Step 4: Download the .msi installer

Step 6: Create a Managed Group

Step 7: Create an assignment configuration

Step 8: Prepare Install Script

Create an install script (e.g. .bat) depending on which module you want to deploy.
Save all files you will use for the deployment in the same folder.
- TeamViewer MSI, Install Script, Uninstall Script, etc.
- Optional: ".tvopt" file

Note: Don't use absolute paths. Please always use "%~dp0" for the path; otherwise, the Install Script won't work.

Script for the Host client (64-bit):

start /wait MSIEXEC.EXE /i "%~dp0\TeamViewer_Host.msi" /qn CUSTOMCONFIGID=YOUR_CUSTOM_CONFIG_ID

               timeout /t 30 /nobreak

               "C:\Program Files\TeamViewer\TeamViewer.exe" assignment --id YOUR_ASSIGNMENT_ID

Script for the Host client (32-bit):

start /wait MSIEXEC.EXE /i "%~dp0\TeamViewer_Host.msi" /qn CUSTOMCONFIGID=YOUR_CUSTOM_CONFIG_ID
timeout /t 30 /nobreak
"C:\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\TeamViewer.exe" assignment --id YOUR_ASSIGNMENT_ID

Script for the Full client (64-bit):

start /wait MSIEXEC.EXE /i "%~dp0\TeamViewer_Full.msi" /qn
timeout /t 30 /nobreak
"C:\Program Files\TeamViewer\TeamViewer.exe" assignment --id YOUR_ASSIGNMENT_ID

Script for the Full client (32-bit):

start /wait MSIEXEC.EXE /i "%~dp0\TeamViewer_Full.msi" /qn
timeout /t 30 /nobreak
"C:\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\TeamViewer.exe" assignment --id YOUR_ASSIGNMENT_ID

Optional parameters:

SETTINGSFILE=”%~dp0\yourfilename.tvopt”

This parameter imports TeamViewer options. For example, a Conditional Access Router.

For more information, please read the following article:

Export settings for deployment

Don't use this parameter in combination with IMPORTREGFILE.

Please check this article for more MSI parameters.

Timeouts

Timeouts ensure that each step in the script has enough time to complete before the next step begins. In some cases, timeouts need to be added to the install script, and TeamViewer services need to be restarted to ensure the device is assigned correctly.

start /wait MSIEXEC.EXE /i "%~dp0\YOUR_MSI_FILE_PATH" /qn CUSTOMCONFIGID=YOUR_CUSTOM_CONFIG_ID ping -n 30 127.0.0.1>nul "C:\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\teamviewer.exe" assignment --id YOUR_ASSIGNMENT_ID ping -n 30 127.0.0.1>nul net stop teamviewer ping -n 10 127.0.0.1>nul net start teamviewer
