I'm looking to create a script to uninstall TeamViewer as part of user initiated enrollment into JAMF Pro.



I found this discussion here: https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/22216/uninstall-teamviewer-via-script-or-terminal



I have limited scripting knowledge, so I took the script from that discussion, and made some small tweaks.



The script works as designed, but deleting the security agent plugin crashes the OS on reboot and requires a format/reload. I'm curious if anybody has any insight into what's going on there.

Bump. Looking for a solution as well.

Looks like the removal of TeamViewerAuthPlugin.bundle is leading to the issues you are facing.



Found this script in MacAdmins TeamViewer section:



#!/bin/bash



# TeamViewer full uninstall, from TV support.

# Does what clicking 'Uninstall' does in TV Advanced preferences

​

# Quit TeamViewer

/usr/bin/osascript -e 'quit app "TeamViewer"'

​

# Unload TeamViewer Helper

/bin/launchctl remove com.teamviewer.Helper

​

# Remove app

/bin/rm -rf /Applications/TeamViewer*

​

# Remove helper

/bin/rm /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.teamviewer.Helper

​

# Remove config

/bin/rm /Library/Preferences/com.teamviewer*

​

# Recursively remove user configs

for u in /Users/* ; do

    /bin/rm -f "$u"/Library/Preferences/com.teamviewer*

done

​

exit


This script omits the modification of the Authorization Database which is protected by SIP, so it is best not to modify.
