Windows - Software - Install TeamViewer (64-Bit)

What the TeamViewer Installer does

This Automox Worklet™ installs TeamViewer on Windows endpoints using the 64-bit installer. TeamViewer provides remote desktop access, file transfer, and remote support capabilities that enable IT teams to assist users and manage endpoints from any location.

The Worklet checks for existing TeamViewer installations in both 64-bit and 32-bit registry paths before proceeding. This detection identifies existing installations regardless of their architecture, preventing duplicate deployments or conflicts with existing TeamViewer versions.

During remediation, the Worklet downloads the 64-bit TeamViewer installer from the Automox API cache and executes it with /S (silent) and /allusers arguments to install for all user accounts on the endpoint without user interaction.

Why deploy TeamViewer through Automox

TeamViewer enables remote support and collaboration capabilities that many IT organizations rely on for helpdesk operations and remote work scenarios. Manual deployment of TeamViewer across distributed endpoints requires significant IT resources and creates inconsistency in versions.

Automating TeamViewer deployment through this Worklet standardizes the installation and maintains the latest version across your fleet. The /allusers installation flag makes TeamViewer available to all user accounts, which is important for shared workstations or multi-user environments.

The Worklet provides visibility into which endpoints have TeamViewer installed, helping you track remote support readiness and identify endpoints that may need the client for upcoming support engagements.

How TeamViewer installation works

1. Evaluation phase: The Worklet searches Windows registry uninstall keys for "TeamViewer" in both 64-bit (SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall) and 32-bit (SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall) registry paths. If found, the endpoint is marked compliant.

2. Remediation phase: The Worklet downloads TeamViewer.exe from the Automox API cache (64-bit version), and executes the installer with /S (silent) and /allusers arguments to install for all user accounts without requiring user interaction.

TeamViewer installation requirements

• Windows workstation or server endpoint (64-bit recommended)

• Network connectivity to download from api.automox.com

• Administrative privileges for software installation

• TeamViewer license for commercial use

• No user configuration required - all parameters are predefined

Expected state after TeamViewer installation

After successful remediation, TeamViewer appears in the Windows Programs list and registry uninstall keys. You can verify successful installation by checking the installed applications list in Control Panel or by searching for the application in the Start menu. The TeamViewer application icon becomes available in the Start menu for all users on the endpoint. The TeamViewer service starts automatically.

Users can launch TeamViewer and initiate or accept remote support sessions. The /allusers installation makes the application available system-wide rather than just for the installing user. Subsequent Worklet runs will detect the existing installation and exit without action.

How to validate install teamviewer (64-bit) changes

1. Run this Worklet on a pilot Windows endpoint and review evaluation output for install teamviewer (64-bit).

2. Confirm Automox activity logs show successful completion and exit code 0.

3. Verify endpoint state using checks aligned to evaluation script logic, such as Write-Output, Get-ChildItem, Get-ItemProperty.

4. Validate remediation effects from script operations such as Get-ChildItem, Get-ItemProperty, Where-Object, then rerun evaluation for compliance.

For technical validation, compare endpoint state to the Worklet evaluation logic and remediation flow for install teamviewer (64-bit). This supports repeatable software lifecycle workflows, faster change control review, and auditable compliance evidence.

Useful script references for this Worklet include evaluation operations such as Write-Output, Get-ChildItem, Get-ItemProperty and remediation operations such as Get-ChildItem, Get-ItemProperty, Where-Object. Use these indicators to verify that endpoint changes match intended policy outcomes.
