How to Change TeamViewer ID after cloning

How to Change TeamViewer ID after cloning

These scripts fix imaged machines with a cloned TeamViewer ID.

TeamViewer ID Fix for Windows

Upon restarting, TeamViewer will assign a new ID. A new ID will not generate if TeamViewer was installed manually nor is it possible to change the ID to your liking. Running these scripts multiple times on a single machine will not continuously generate a new ID.
Instructions
  1. Download and run the script on the imaged machine. It is recommended to right click and run as administrator.
  2. The console window will update if the script was applied successfully. You will then be prompted to restart before changes take effect (the console window will automatically close).
Note: Running the script multiple times on a single machine will not continuously generate a new ID.

There are many tutorials on the internet that shows how to change a Teamviewer ID after cloning a VM but i found no instruction that shows me how to keep the ID on the original machine and change the ID on the new VM – without deleting any registry keys.

I got this Solution from the Teamviewer Support!

1. At the VM you want to keep the ID

  • navigate in the registry to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TeamViewer\VersionX\

  • add a new D-WORD value (32 bit).

Name of the value: MIDForceUpdate
Value: 3 (hex/deci)

2. At the VM you want to change the ID

Only if Teamviewer was executed and/or installed follow these steps:

  • stop Teamviewer(!)
  • navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TeamViewer\VersionX

Delete the VersionX (e.g. Version7) folder.

  • restart the computer
  • start Teamviewer – now Teamviewer should renew the ID

 

What does MID Force Update do?

MIDForceUpdate tells the Teamviewer server that the machine XYZ has the ID XXX-XXX-XXX. This entry forces every other machine with the same ID to renew it.
