So for each user, a Teams folder will be created in the local AppData folder. This progress will be done for each user who logs in. Whenever a user signs in to a new Windows User Profile, the installer will auto-launch and the Teams client app will be installed in that user’s AppData folder.(in a normal situation). Inside this folder, you will find the teams.exe installer and a setup.json file. When Teams is being installed, it will create a folder in the Program Files (x86) folder. When you are going to deploy the Microsoft 365 Apps, you can make sure Teams is a part of the installation. Now we have seen you could use a machine-wide installer when you want to make sure teams is installed in the program files folder we are going to look at the per-user based installations. If this key is created, the installer will continue without any errors.

”HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\PortICA” When you don’t have a VDI environment you could fool the teams installer by creating a registry key Please beware the ALLUSER=1 switch will only work when a VDI environment is detected otherwise it will fail to install All users can then uninstall Teams if they have admin credentials on the computer.ĪLLUSER=1 parameter is used only in VDI environments to specify a per-machine installation.

When you want to use the machine-wide installation you need to use the Teams MSI installer. You will need to uninstall the old version first before you can install the latest version. This kind of installation is the type of installation you need when you are working with VDI (Non-persistent environments) Please beware, with a machine-wide installer automatic updates are disabled. 1.Installations options:īefore we begin, we need to know 2 important differences. I am going to split this blog into multiple parts.ġ. This blog will show you when you are deploying the Microsoft 365 Apps from Intune why teams sometimes is being installed in the Program data folder and other times in the user’s localappdata folder and why the teams update functionality could break.
