More and more frequently I get kicked out of unattended remote connections to Mac computers either after a restart or when switching user accounts because the Setup Assistant automatically starts. TeamViewer stops functioning until a user on site can click through the iCloud account login and annonymous data collection setup pages.
After OS updates (usually security updates or OS patches) Apple fires off the same iCloud login setup page. For some reason this blocks TeamViewer. If I'm running OS updates and the machine restarts, I often can't get back in.
But the assistant must be run for EVERY user account to clear this scenario. If a Mac was updated months ago but a user account on that machine hasn't logged in recently, if I'm remoted in and switch users, the assistant fires off and I get kicked out and can't regain access until someone on site clicks "Not Now" and "Skip" on the iCloud Login screen.
I tried contacting TeamViewer support about this but they tried treating it like an issue with the particular workstation. But I think this is a bug or flaw or compatibility issue between TeamViewer and the Mac OS, across multiple OS's. Does anyone have any suggestions for a workaround? Maybe a way to permanently stop that Assistant?
I do a lot of work after hours, and once I lock myself out, I'm done working for the night.
