TeamViewer Host - Configuration ID

[tgd]

Hello everyone,

i wanted to roll out our new custom TeamViewer Host and everything works except that our custom design with the company logo is not displayed.

I did it exactly as in the instructions: https://hcsonline.com/images/PDFs/Jamf_Teamviewer_Host.pdf

After the custom logo didn't show up, I kept searching and came across these instructions:

The groups and the membership works but unfortunately our custom layout does not. Am I missing something or have I done something wrong?

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.
