Hi,

 

New to Scripting still but trying to learn.

My goal is to deploy around 15 Mac Mini within a course of about 2 weeks. My goal is to try to create a policy and/or configuration profile if I can do Teamviewer Host in a silent install without "any input effort by me or a user." 

 

I integrated our Teamviewer token to Remote Administration, after that I am lost on how to proceed. I know I need to push the host .PKG into the account on the Mac minis so it can install but how can I customize the setting up either Easy Access by pulling the name of the computer and setting up other customizable features Teamviewer offers as well so it can show up in our Management Console.

The method I use you don't package, rather you use a scripted install that pulls your own custom module direct from Teamviewer. I got the details from the post below.

    Thanks for the reply. Do you know where in Teamviewer you got the link for the getting the download link so I can modify the script to pull from our account?

    The custom module is on the Design and Deploy section of login.teamviewer.com. 

    Download link will look something like https://get.teamviewer.com/myjamftv

    The original scrip needs to be edited to download the custom module direct from the TeamViewer site, but need a full long link, the short link above is not good enough. This can be obtained as follows.

    When you enter the above link from a Mac browser (if you do it on a pc it will download a Windows msi) the pkg will download. We want the long download link not the file itself. To obtain the full long link, on the page a ‘Try again’ button will be in the middle of the page. Right click and copy to get the link below.

    Thanks. I will try this after hours. Do we know if there is a way to modify TeamViewer host in terms of setting up a TeamViewer Password in the script.

    I have the quick access working, so my connecton works with a password. I then manually set the password on the client. Would be nice to auto set the pw, but I've never got around to looking at how to do it.

    Yea. I got the script and everything work thanks to you. Really appreciate it. Wish there was a way to do the Teamviewer PW from a script so I don't have to even touch anything.
