TeamViewer Custom Action

[JTempleton]

Is it possible to setup a custom action to launch and connect TeamViewer? I know the command line options, but how can I get the registry options into a custom action?

I ended up creating an SQL trigger. This is probably even more unsupported.

CREATE TRIGGER MK_IU_tblRegistry
ON [dbo].[tblRegistry] 
AFTER INSERT, UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON

UPDATE A SET
A.Custom1 = B.Value
FROM tblAssetCustom A
INNER JOIN inserted B
ON A.AssetID = B.AssetID
WHERE B.Regkey LIKE '%TeamViewer%'
AND B.Valuename = 'ClientID'

END

esr,

Is there somewhere within Lansweeper that you set up the SQL script? Or are you running it outside the application in the SQL task scheduler?

Thanks, esr! Very handy.

Now if only we could pass the value of the custom field into a custom action, connecting to the client could be a one-click action.

I've added custom registry scans for the client id, and then use a script to populate one of the custom fields so the client id is easily found on any asset page. It's not interactive or anything, but at least the ID is easily found so you don't need to search or ask the user...

The registry keys we scan-

For each path below, the RegValue is: ClientID
RegPath(s):
HKLM\SOFTWARE\TeamViewer
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TeamViewer
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TeamViewer\Version6
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TeamViewer\Version7
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TeamViewer\Version8
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TeamViewer\Version9

Note that HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TeamViewer works for versions 10, 11 & 12

Then just a quick SQL UPDATE to the custom field of your choice:

UPDATE dbo.tblAssetCustom
SET dbo.tblAssetCustom.Custom1 = dbo.tblRegistry.value
FROM dbo.tblAssetCustom INNER JOIN dbo.tblRegistry
ON dbo.tblAssetCustom.AssetID = dbo.tblRegistry.AssetID
WHERE tblRegistry.Regkey LIKE '%teamviewer%'

NOTE THAT Lansweeper Tech Support does not really support or provide assistance for playing around with your database. Always backup and if possible test in a dev environment.

@esr: Can you please describe step by step this procedure?
I'm so interested.

Thanks

I don't think this will work. TeamViewer requires the client ID. t

The client ID is stored in the registry. I thought I might be able to add the registry location(s) to the scanning settings and then create a custom action. But that approach won't work with the variable list so limited.

Please count me as a +1 for the enhancement of expanding the custom actions to be able to use more variables. The ideal would be the ability to use any field from the database related to the asset.

You can add custom actions under Configuration\Asset Pages. Available parameters are listed when you hit the Add Asset Action button, but I've listed them below as well. I'm not sure which parameters TeamViewer requires, but they would have to be stored in one of the fields below in order to reference them with a custom action.

{actionpath}
{smartname} -> This is the asset's IP address, asset name or FQDN, depending on the asset type.
{assetname}
{dnsname}
{computer} -> This is the computer name.
{domain}
{tag} -> This is the asset's serial.
{username}
{userdomain}
{ipaddress}
{fqdn}
{scanserver}
{assetid}
