See my reaction to Franois, updating the machine wide installer is possible if you use SCCCM with the procedure i described.
And it is necessary, because eventually the version of the machine wide installer will be so old that a manual download is required imediatly after installation of this old version to be able to use Teams.
We are in a similar situation. The deployment was disappointing to begin with, in that all the installer does is create a Teams Installer directory under program files and then copies the installer approx mb to every single logged in user, which chews up the hard disk for multi user devices.
We've only just noticed now, that despite us pushing out version 1. We are now starting to get users who log into PC's for the first time and get prompted about not being a updated version and click here to update, which takes them to a download link for Teams. This will not install for all users as it requires elevated credentials which end users do not have.
Installation of this version cannot continue. I've also tried extracting the Teams. In writing this, I've just discovered that running the Teams. I guess I'll try and also push the update. BrianGe I have the exact same issue as you, we have a wide range of versions when we first deployed the Machine installer, and are running into the issues where a new user signs in and the app wants a update.
I also tried the same thing as you - installing the latest version of the machine wide installer, and of course it failed with the message you got.
The other day a new user signed in got the update message, so we let it download from the web, it installed, Teams launched but did not connect to their work account. I'm going to try the idea of uninstalling the machine installer with existing user Teams already installed , then re-install the latest version and see if it breaks anything.
Not sure how else to do this, I have to keep these installers up to date or I'm going to get a lot more of these issues with new users. Glad I'm testing on my own machine - Don't uninstall the machine wide installer - it uninstalls all Teams on the machine even my user install. The trouble is, Teams is updated very often, so trying to keep the Machine Wide Installer up to date on all devices is a big challenge with a big administrative overhead.
Since running the updated Teams. I'll be back to work on Tuesday, so will be doing more testing before writing up a script to redeploy. It's still unclear if running Teams. If it does, we can just add an extra line into the script after the files are copied to simply launch Teams. Here's a PS1 I've just whipped up, still needs some more testing on site, but so far it seems to be what I want.
I've modified the script that we initially used to push Teams, so it'll also do the install on a new client along with an update if required:. BrianGe what you have posted is exactly what I've been experiencing. Is this PS1 working for you?
It seems that after the new version is copied, you have to run the Teams. This is a batch file I run on the computers with a lower version but is also based on the Uninstall string of the installer. Sorry, can you explain what you are doing here? I have Nessus complaining about teams. Are you copying the latest teams. Have SCCM also. BenjaminJohn I grab the latest Machine Wide installer v1. REM Forces the machine wide installer to re-install from the updated cache msiexec.
The machine wide installer has been updated to 1. Hope this helps, so far I have had no problems with this procedure, I will have to circle back and fix the other versions that have different GUID's, but that might be difficult as I'm thinking I would have to uninstall it - which would then uninstall Teams for the user as well. I was wondering the same as BenjaminJohn :. So you create a package with the latest TMWI - okay. I can create a package with the new TMWI but not sure how the batch file you have here executes it?
I see much of the logic of this batch file just not sure how it all comes together in a package. The solution for me at least was to update my O deployment repository. Only my new deployments on 20H2 were having unwanted teams update appear and all manner of messing with the teams machine wide installer just went down a deep rabbit hole. The only other tweak I had to make was to add a reg hack to stop the AAD nag to the user.
Your cooperation is highly appreciated. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I have already done that, it does not work.
The screenshot I put was just after me trying just that. Btw, the main reason I'm trying to uninstall is to see if I can solve two other problems with teams:. I've already tried to update the protocol associations for msteams in Settings, but it won't let me, it says there are no apps associated to that protocol.
Thanks for the update. It will help us to determine whether it is specific Windows registry side issue. Choose where you want to search below Search Search the Community. This thread is locked.
