I have updated a few systems, and realize I need to change some settings. how can i deploy a new tvopt file and settings.
Hello everyone, I'm just having the same problem @AlexViorreta I wanted to know if you found a way to do this.
When the Host is not installing everything works as it should, but when it was already installed it does not update the client configuration parameters.
Thanks to all for the help
After writing I found the answer Sorry.

Hello @LIGMichael,
I'll try to summarize the situation here:
It is currently not possible to apply (import) the options file via command prompt if the client is already installed.
However, there is an alternative I might suggest:
1) You can uninstall TeamViewer from all devices
2) Deploy TeamViewer via the .msi file and add the .tvopt file to your deployment
We explain how to proceed in the following article under the section Configuration of installation:
https://community.teamviewer.com/English/kb/articles/39639-mass-deployment-on-windows#configuration-of-installation
This article applies to all TeamViewer customers with a Corporate or Tensor license and to TeamViewer versions in 13.2 or newer. Supported Windows versions: Win 7, Win 8, and Win 10 General This article explains how you can deploy TeamViewer Host and TeamViewer Full in a mass deployment scenario on Windows. Installation…
Let me know if something is not clear. 😊
All the best,

hi @Ignacio_Ibarra_86 , I couldn't do that using command line, but consider tvopt file is just a windows registry file, so you can add its values directly into the registry running a command like this:
reg.exe import path_to_your_file.tvopt
and then restart the computer.
I hope this can help you.
Hello @Shawn_Moran,
You can add the .tvopt file into your TeamViewer deployment by simply putting the file into the same folder in which the .msi is located.
Hello @JeanK
We are deploying TV via Intune with different settings and it is not possible to add .tvopt file into our TeamViewer deployment. May be you know anothet solution for this.
But anyway my main question : is it possible to change "Personal password: for all installed hosts in my subscription ?
Hello @Axzon,
Using the .tvopt file is the only way to push a personal password. There is, currently, no workaround for this operation.
Hello all,
I need to Import the tvopt by command line, but in the teamviewer support I don't find how to do it.
I see I can do it with the msiexe (msiexec.exe /i "Path_to\TeamViewer_Host.msi" SETTINGSFILE="YOURPATH\yourfilename.tvopt"...)
But, Is there any way to do it when the teamviewer Host is already installed?
I see there is the command: "Path\To\TeamViewer.exe" assign --api-token xxxxxx --grant-easy-access --group-id gxxxxx
to configure new parameters when the teamviewer is installed, so the question is if there is a parameter to import the tvopt with the same way.
Thanks a lot!
Hey guys, any news on this post? I am deploying windows 11 and I want to install Temaviewer with a password pre-set, the only way is doing it through TVOPT, but adding the line in my MDT it doesn't work
msiexec.exe /i "TeamViewer_Host.msi" /qn CUSTOMCONFIGID=XXXX APITOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ASSIGNMENTOPTIONS="--alias %computername% --grant-easy-access --group-id gXXXXXXXX" SETTINGSFILE="D:\MDTwin11\Applications\Teamviewer\configuration.tvopt"
D:\MDTwin11\Applications\Teamviewer, I change this path several times trying different ones.
when I take this SETTIGSFILE line off, It will install Teamviewer with the other configuration working, with SETTINGSFILE it wont work, any advice on what can I do to make it work?
