TeamViewer Host - Configuration ID

Hi @tgd

I came across the same issue recently and found a way to properly deploy a TeamViewer customization through Jamf Pro. I thought others may find this info useful.

Here are my deployments steps:

1. Create and download a custom TeamViewerHost DMG file in TeamViewer's admin dashboard
2. This DMG file should have a name like "TeamViewerHost-XXX1XXXX23.dmg", save the ID "XXX1XXXX23" at the end of the file name for later use
3. Deploy the TeamViewerHost app using your preferred method in Jamf Pro. Personally, I used the Jamf App Catalog method to automatically deploy the latest version of this app without having to upload a PKG.
4. Create a policy, enable the payload "Files and processes" and add the following command in the field "Execute Command":xattr -w "com.TeamViewer.ConfigurationId" "XXX1XXXX23" /Applications/TeamViewerHost.app​
5. This will tell TeamViewerHost to use this customization ID to fetch its config online
6. Restart the TeamViewer app and your company logo should appear in TeamViewer

Note: If you want to manually test in Terminal before using Jamf Pro, ensure you're root to be allowed to run the xattr command.

Have you had any luck with the PPC config profile applying properly in Sequoia for the Host file? -- update: Worked for me using a PPC file from TV. However, we’ve moved away from TV now.

​@rcole I have not had any luck with the PPPC config profile. If someone runs it successfully, it’d be great to hear about. 

​@VincentB This was my solution and absolute life saver! Thank you SO MUCH!

Really great ​@VincentB, that also worked for me as well. Any chance to skip the confirmation dialog as well?

Hi ​@alexander I’ll be honest it’s been a while I didn’t play with this deployment workflow, would you mind sharing a screenshot of the confirmation you’re talking about? It’ll be easier for me to check if we have ways to work around this one. Thanks!

Hi ​@VincentB, it is the following dialog:

If the user clicks cancel, the whole configuration setup is not working.

This particular popup message is directly displayed by Teamviewer apps so I’m not there are ways to suppress it.

I don’t have an enterprise Teamviewer license so I won’t be able to help much. If the message happens during PKG deployment, you may want to try tweaking the post_install script in the PKG and see if there‘s any way to avoid this message.

On Teamviewer’s forum I found someone asking the same question, on Windows there looks to be a \qn argument to make the install fully silent, but there’s no equivalent for the installer command on macOS: https://community.teamviewer.com/English/discussion/133287/your-device-will-be-assigned-to-company-message/p1?tab=accepted

Maybe Teamviewer’s support will be able to provide a more definitive answer to this popup issue? 

Yeah I am actually already in contact with them so they also update their official guide for the new custom host packages (mass deployment on macOS). No date on when that will happen though.

Thanks for the tips and the link!
