Deployment Tip Summary
I just did the version 8 Full, fairly easy with a Corporate License. People seem to have problems with the news letter popup, after you shutdown the program. That's gone if you purchase and enter a license. Only small problem was getting rid of the desktopshortcut. Couldn't seem to find anything relevant creating an MST. I ended up creating a quick and dirty script. Steps is pretty much the same as version 7: Install on your testmachine. Do the settings you want, set a password, activate the license key if purchased etc. Then export it to .reg your Settings in TeamViewer- Advanced -> Show advanced options -> Export options to a *.reg file Make sure it's named TeamViewer_Settings.reg and put it in the same pathfolder as your msi. Create some script to install with. I used Powershell, installing with the parameters I wanted and a small loop to detect the the TeamViewer desktopshortcut in the public account and deleting it:
Start-Process msiexec.exe -ArgumentList "/i Teamviewer.msi /qb-! /L*v tv.log" -Wait -PassThru
$ChkFile = "$env:public\Desktop\TeamViewer 8.lnk"
$FileExists = (Test-Path $ChkFile -PathType Leaf)
$i = 0
Do { if ($FileExists -eq $False) {
$FileExists = (Test-Path $ChkFile -PathType Leaf)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 100 #add small delay each loop
$i++ #increment $i to prevent endless loop
}
}
Until ($FileExists -eq $True -or $i -ge 600) # if true, delete shortcut, or $i >= 600(1min) exit script if ($FileExists -eq $True) {
rm $ChkFile
}
Deployed using SCCM, on machines with users with limited rights. Seems to be working as intended :-) *edit* Teamviewer_Host is the actually same method.. just remember to edit script for the right msi and shortcut.
