With the pre_install script I was able to apply the passwords and access the systems after the install was completed. This means that we will take advantage of Munki's preinstall_script. We can now build the Munki package to install TeamViewer with our settings.Īfter performing vigorous trial and error I was able to determine in order for the passwords to be inserted into TeamViewer via an installation script they must be there BEFORE the install takes place.

This meant we would have to configure TeamViewer manually on each machine on the Mac side. The first thing we noticed was that the TeamViewer Host version for Mac which runs all the time and will allow us to access corporate machines when there isn't a user logged in did not have a customizable version.
