Deploying Team Viewer with Intune

The scenario: you have computers that are only bound to AzureAD and you need to deploy a customized version TeamViewer to those computers. Me too! Here’s what I did.

Create the Custom Module & Policies

Log into to www.teamviewer.com

On the left hand side of the screen, choose Design & Deploy

You’ll see two tabs: Custom Modules and Policies.

The Policies tab has the custom settings used by the client (such as whitelisting, auto-starting, and auto-adding to groups).

Each custom module can only use one “Policy,” but each policy can have all possible settings. If you need to create a new policy, use the “Add policy” button at the top of the screen.

To change a policy, click the edit button next to the one of the policies. (The “enforce” checkbox for each setting prevents the end-user from being able to change that setting). These policies are checked by the client during installation.

Once the policy is setup, go to the Custom Modules tab. Create a new module with the Add Custom Module button or click the edit button on a existing module.

Customize the look of the TeamViewer app however you’d like.

Make sure the TeamViewer policy selected is the correct one from the Policies tab and you’ve selected the group you would like the devices added to under the “Automatically add computers to a group in your Computers list.”

Copy the API token and the Configuration ID. You will need these when creating the app in Intune.

Click the “Download MSI” link as well. Without any options, this MSI will just do a basic TeamViewer Host installation. Only when passed your configuration ID and API token during installation will it give you the customized client and add itself to your TeamViewer groups.

Package the Installer

The MSI file will come in a zip file; unzip it. Inside you will find two more folders: Full and Host. Go into the Host folder and copy the TeamViewer_host.msi file into another folder. I named mine “teamviewer-host”. Make sure there is nothing else in that folder.

If you haven’t already, download a copy of the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool from https://github.com/Microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool

Open Windows Terminal or a command prompt and run:

So for me, I had IntuneWinAppUtil.exe on the desktop and wanted the package file there as well, so I ran:

Once you have done so, you will have a file called TeamViewer_Host.intunewin that can be uploaded to Intune.

Create & Deploy in Intune

Go to https://endpoint.microsoft.com

Choose Apps->All Apps

Click the Add Button

Choose the App Type “Windows app (Win32) then click Select at the bottom of the screen.

Choose the TeamViewer_Host.intunewin file you created (Firefox may have trouble doing the upload. If so, use another browser)

On the Program step change the install command from:

(Don’t include the brackets [ ])

Choose 64bit Windows 10 under the Requirements

Under Detection Rules choose “Manually configure detection rules”

Click + Add

Choose MSI for rule type. Intune will automatically enter the correct MSI Product code. Keep “MSI Product version check” as “no” so that the app won’t re-install if upgrades are done on the client side.

No Dependencies are needed.

Finally, assign it to whatever device groups you need. Devices in those groups will automatically download the TeamViewer Host app as well as place an icon called TeamViewer on the desktop.

That’s it! Your custom TeamViewer host should install on the selected devices and be ready for remote management.

• Pingback: My intune autopilot journey – Savage Nomads

Hi, thank you for the good sum-up, but I have one question. Why did you turn the msi into an intunewin-package instead of installing teamviewer through the msi?

OK, got it myself. RTFM: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/lob-apps-windows

Hi Holger. Like you, I was considering using the LoB Intune install with the .msi.

You suggest that we shouldn’t do this and reference an MS article. I’ve read the article but can’t uncover the reason why I shouldn’t go that path.

I would really appreciate if you would share your insight as to why the intunewin-package method should be used instead of the native LoB?

Hi Donal! I’ve found (at least in the past) that Intune’s deployments can be a bit hit or miss when using an .msi by itself as an LOB app but extremely reliable after being packaged into an .intunewin file and deployed as a Win32 app. Hope that helps! -Adam

You’re welcome!

Do you know how to apply an exported .tvopt settings file along with a deployment like this?

Hi Drew! That’s an interesting question. I believe what you would do is include the .tvopt file in the folder with the TeamViewer MSI file. This way it’s included in the .intunewin package and copied to each computer. Since TeamViewer wants an absolute path to the .tvopt file I had to look up where Intune downloads intunewin files and extracts them. It should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Intune Management Extension\Content . I haven’t been able to catch a glimpse of the folder fast enough to see exactly how the intunewin file is extracted there. Keep an eye on that folder when TeamViewer is installed by Intune (you may have to do some test installs) and see where the tvopt file is placed. Assuming it gets placed in the root of that folder, have your install command point to it like this: msiexec /i “TeamViewer_Host.msi” /q SETTINGSFILE=”C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Intune Management Extension\Content\my_settingsfile.tvopt” I’d be interested to know if you discover the exact path. Good luck! -Adam

Gotcha, thanks! Beginning tests now. So the Intune Content Prep tool will include the .tvopt file in the .intuenewin package as long as it is in the source folder? I don’t have to adjust or add any commands?

You’re welcome! Anything else in the folder you specify with the -c option should be added to the intunewin file automatically. Let me know if that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Hi Drew, did you manage to incorporate the .tvopt file with your intune deployment?

Hey great run through. Quick question – would we need to un-install the existing Teamviewer host before installing an updated one? if so, how? Our fleet has various differing versions of the host deployed.

Daran, Glad you liked it! That isn’t a scenario I’ve run into before. I’d first try deploying to a test machine with an existing version. It may simply upgrade the installed version of TeamViewer to the correct one with your configuration settings. If that doesn’t work, you could assign a PowerShell script (Endpoint Manager->Devices->Scripts) that runs the uninstall commands for TeamViewer 14 and 15 (and whatever other versions you are running). Such as:

msiexec /x “{39F32496-8A6D-4FCA-98E6-BEE046E8A33B}” /q msiexec /x “{08B0EDF5-A3C2-4B0E-BBCA-CA99C38D7B5A}” /q

Once the script has been run on a computer (you can monitor this from the Device status tab on the script), you can add that computer to a group that TeamViewer is deployed to. Let me know how that works out for you. -Adam

Thank you Adam! I never would have gotten that string right without your assistance!

You’re very welcome Thomas! Glad I could help!

Hey Adam Great guide you have created. I’m currently trying to roll out Intune for a company I work for. I have a question though…

How do I add the .tvopt TeamViewer config file to the .msi file? I’ve downloaded orca, as I needed it for deploying my antivirus software.

I hope that you can help.

I followed this step by step, but im still not seeing the device show up. Anytime i click view device install status nothing shows up. If i go into the device itself under Managed Apps it shows as “Waiting for install status”. With Application Created, Device Check and App Updated with green checkboxs. But the program isn’t on the computer. Is there a way to check where its erroring out?

Really Clear and Interesting, it works for us.

I would suggest to explain the API part, because it is not clear why it is required, and why whitout it, it just fail.

The early Challenger competitions this season might change things. Whoever wins gets on the Replacement List. Especially Cranberry Cup, who is a Challenger this year, is a great opportunity for American women to get a good score to be on the seasons best list for next year. And if you win, you might even get a GP assignment this season. I hope the US Fed realize the importance of Cranberry Cup this year. I hope they enter as many women they possibly can to get results that counts next season, which is as we know an Olympic season.

Jumping_Bean said: Maximum number of entries for the Challenger part of the competition is 3 skaters in each discipline. I also don't know why not sending skaters to Challengers would be a criticism of USFS - This is not Skate Canada, they're not that stingy with assignments, even some of the "lower" ranked women got a Challenger assignment last season and almost always fill all of their spots at US-held Challengers. Plus, we have to consider that this is really early in the season - Some skaters might not be ready yet, and I'm honestly not sure we can expect very high scores overall at Cranberry Cup.

Pairs team Aurelie FAULA / Theo BELLE of France have been added for GP France!

Joos can be crossed out of the replacement list since she is doing JGP this season, she is on the entries for JGP Riga. All though not entirely confirmed, it was mentioned in the coach changing thread that Paganini most likely has left Huth because she wanted to concentrate on shows instead of preparing for a new season. She could still compete but since there is no mention of new coach, and since she hasn´t started preparing for a new season yet, it seems unlikely she will be ready for the first half of the season. So the replacement list for women just got even shorter.  

Anna Pezzetta, Adam Hagara and Arlet Levandi are listed as substitutes on the JGP Riga entry list. It may be an indication that they are all planning on competing on the JGP instead of GP this season. And in Adam Hagara's case, it would also be an indication that his current assignment for NHK Trophy could be opening up.

CrazyKittenLady

FlossieH said: It's his choice which counts (and we don't know for certain what that is), but I think sticking with the senior GP would be his better option. There's no guarantees that he would have the same success on the JGP circuit this year (I am expecting more of a challenge from some of the US and Japanese boys) and, given the big jump in standards between juniors and seniors for men, he may not get another senior GP opportunity in the future. He would not have qualified for a senior GP spot this year without his medal at junior worlds. He needs to add around 30-40 points to his current PB. Click to expand...

All good changes. Picking in order of the SB List is more fair instead of this "pick-the-one-you-want"-nonsense.

Enable DHCP for local IP address assignment

Option for board to get its Internet Protocol (IP) address from the local Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on the network

Model Configuration Pane: Hardware Implementation / Simulink or Embedded Coder Hardware Support Package / Hardware board settings / Target hardware resources / Ethernet

Description

Use this address for any further communication with the board.

When you select this parameter, the board gets its Internet Protocol (IP) address from the local Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on the network.

Select this parameter when the development computer and the board are connected to a router.

Make sure that the network to which the board is connected supports DHCP for IP address assignment.

To find the IP address assigned to the board:

Open a browser and enter the router IP address in its address bar.

If you do not know the router's IP address, check the manufacturer's documentation.

To log in to your router, enter the user name and password.

The default user name is usually admin and password is password . You can search for the default user name and password in its user manual.

On the home page, search for the DHCP settings.

Configure host pool and session host settings

In Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop, host pools and session host settings play a crucial role in providing a scalable and efficient virtual desktop infrastructure. By properly configuring and managing these settings, administrators can ensure optimal performance, security, and user experience.

1. Creating a Host Pool:

To begin, let’s discuss how to configure and create a host pool in Azure Virtual Desktop:

Start by accessing the Azure portal and navigating to Azure Virtual Desktop.

Select “Host pools” from the left-hand menu and click on the “Add” button to create a new host pool.

Enter a name and resource group for the host pool.

Choose the session host VM size and the type of load balancing algorithm you want to use.

Enable or disable the option to “Autoscale” based on pre-defined conditions.

Configure the user assignment settings to determine how users will be assigned to the host pool.

Review and confirm the settings, then click “Create” to create the host pool.

2. Configuring Session Host Settings:

Once the host pool is created, you can configure various session host settings to customize the virtual desktop experience. Let’s explore some essential session host settings:

Ensure that the load balancing algorithm selected during host pool creation adequately distributes user connections across session hosts. Load balancing can be configured based on either “User Count” or “Session Count.”

Specify the session timeout duration to automatically log off disconnected or idle sessions. This setting helps manage resource utilization and improve security.

Define the active hours during which the session hosts should be available for user connections. This prevents users from connecting to virtual desktops during maintenance windows or non-working hours.

Configure automatic reboot schedules to ensure that session hosts receive updates and patches without interrupting user sessions. Specify the day of the week and time when the reboot should occur.

Customize drive redirection settings to control which local drives are accessible from the virtual desktop sessions. Enable or disable drive redirection based on organizational policies and security requirements.

Configure printer redirection options to determine whether printers connected to the client device will be automatically redirected to the virtual desktop sessions. Printers can be selectively redirected based on user or administrator preferences.

Choose whether clipboard redirection should be enabled or disabled to allow users to copy and paste content between the local device and the virtual desktop session. Consider security implications when enabling this feature.

These are just a few examples of the session host settings that can be configured in Azure Virtual Desktop. Depending on your organization’s requirements, you may need to explore additional settings and configurations.

Note: Ensure proper user rights and permissions while configuring host pool and session host settings. Consider following least-privilege principles to restrict unnecessary access.

Conclusion:

Configuring host pool and session host settings is crucial for optimal performance and user experience in Azure Virtual Desktop. By creating the host pool with appropriate settings and customizing session host configurations, administrators can ensure efficient resource allocation, security, and user satisfaction. Remember to refer to Microsoft’s official documentation for detailed information about each setting and stay updated with any new features or updates released by Microsoft.
