Install Host Configuration

LeoBrons

I have made a host configuration and want to make it active in the msi but can't manage this with version 15

I use the following command for this

msiexec /i "TeamViewer_Host.msi" /qn APITOKEN=xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx CUSTOMCONFIGID=xxxxxx ASSIGNMENTOPTIONS="--grant-easy-access --alias %COMPUTERNAME% --group-id Helpdesk --reassign" IMPORTREGFILE=1

But I can still do everything on the PC where I installed the host eg shut down host while I have it blocked

How can I fix this in version 15

Hello @LeoBrons,

The command you are using is correct.

Did you make sure to place the .tvopt file within the same folder as the .msi file?

All the best,

Hi thanks for your answer I did indeed not have the Teamviewer_Settings.tvopt in the same folder.

I have now done this and run into the following error message : the use of importregfile=0/1 is decrapted the support of this propertywil dropped soon pleas specify the full path to the setting file with SETTINGFILE

So I changed the command line to the following but then nothing is executed

Command : msiexec /i "TeamViewer_Host.msi" /qn APITOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CUSTOMCONFIGID=xxxxxxxxxx ASSIGNMENTOPTIONS="--grant-easy-access --alias %COMPUTERNAME% --group-id Helpdesk --reassign" SETTINGFILE=Teamviewer_Settings.tvopt

What am I doing wrong ?

I just saw that you have used:

SETTINGFILE=Teamviewer_Settings.tvopt

instead of:

SETTINGSFILE=Teamviewer_Settings.tvopt

(the S in SETTINGSFILE is missing)

I'd recommend testing it again. 🙂

Hi thanks for your answer

I have change the command line and the installation start but then i get the following error Error25010: the source file could not be read

For testing i have make a new tvopt file and i have a new msi file but still i get this message

And when i use the command line with the import rule IMPORTREGFILE=1 then its working and i see the computername in the teamviewer portal **bleep** xxxx$

Thats a littlebit weard because i mace the command line with %username% but still i get computername ....

Anyway can you help me with the error ?

Hello @LeoBrons,

Did you make sure that the file name of your .tvopt file is the same as the file name you are using in your command line after SETTINGSFILE= ?

LeoBrons

Yes i am very sure i send you a picture with the file name

All right. Thank you for checking.

Could you please test with the following script:

msiexec.exe /i "Path\To\TeamViewer_Host.msi" /qn CUSTOMCONFIGID=YOURIDCCODE
ping -n 31 127.0.0.1>nul
Path\To\TeamViewer.exe assign --api-token YOURTOKEN --grant-easy-access

and send me back what it looks like in your Terminal so I can check.

Have you any update ?

JeanK

Sorry for the late answer, @LeoBrons.

It's difficult to say why it is not working.

I recommend opening a ticket so our engineers can have a deeper look at it:

I use the following script all the time...

msiexec.exe /i "\\SharePath\Teamviewer Host\TeamViewer_Host.msi" /qn APITOKEN=MyToken CUSTOMCONFIGID=MyConfig SETTINGSFILE="\\SharePath\Teamviewer Host\Teamviewer_Config.tvopt" ASSIGNMENTOPTIONS="--alias %username% --grant-easy-access --group ""Computer Group Name""" DESKTOPSHORTCUTS=0

I put that in a batch file in the same directory as the TeamViewer_Host.msi installer and the Teamviewer_Config.tvopt options file. Run it as admin as needed. It is a silent install, applies my custom host settings for logo & colors, applies my client options like no shutdown, allow list, etc, no desktop shortcut, and then puts it in the group that I want with their username.
