Teamviewer AD integration: user creation does not work

Hi,

I tried to use the Powershell script for user creation.

I succeed in connecting to AD and teamviewer using the API access token. My users assigned to the teamviewer security group are found, but I don't get them created in the teamviewer account portal.

Here is my script output:

Starting AD OU Sync...

Ping API...
Request [GET] /api/v1/ping
200 OK
Ping: Token is valid

Reading AD OU members

Get all users...
Request [GET] /api/v1/users?full_list=true
200 OK
Request ok!

Get single user by mail (name1@domain.com)...
Request [GET] /api/v1/users?email=name1@domain.com&full_list=true
200 OK
Request ok!

No user with email= name1@domain.com found.
CreateUser: name1@domain.com with this values:
=


Get single user by mail (name2@domain.com)...
Request [GET] /api/v1/users?email=name2@domain.com&full_list=true
200 OK
Request ok!

No user with email= name2@domain.com found.
CreateUser: name2@domain.com with this values:
=

AD OU Sync finished.

I use this script:

  • Hi,

    I'm receiving the same errors.

    domain.local -> OU = tvusers -> security group 'tvusers' -> 2 regular domain users are members 

    In AD snap-in we can look for the email-adresses and it finds them.

    Does this script still supposed to work?

  • Hey!

    Thanks for the quick response.

    It's working almost perfectly.

    Just one thing: It seems to have trouble with users having German characters (ä,ö,ß) in their names. It fails to create those.

    Hi Stephan72,

    thanks for the feedback.

    In which AD fields you are having the Umlauts?
    Did you get an error message, if yes, what?

    Hi there,

    for my end I am stuck with this PingAPI, it keeps telling me:

    "Starting CSV export...
    PingAPI : The term 'PingAPI' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was
    included, verify that the path is correct and try again."

    Does someone knows how to solve this ?
