Teams client not updating
Anyone?
jdseymour1978 Hi, you can read the conversation here to get updated Force Teams desktop client update - Microsoft Tech Community
Thank you for the link, but it is not practical to use this method to update hundreds of clients in an enterprise environment using this method.
jdseymour1978 Hello, that was not my point. Read the conversation as you'll see how the update flow works and why some versions differ. It's not necessary to all be on the same version as long as the users have the released features.
It will become necessary as users either receive the message that their version is out of date, or demand to use features in the newer versions. As others have commented in the link you provided, this feels like a 'consumer' product pushed into the corporate/enterprise space, without the deployment and management tools which that space really needs.
As a test, I uninstalled the per-user version of Microsoft Teams (1.3.00.346622) and cleaned up my %LocalAppData% folder. I then re-installed it, using the command which the Machine-Wide installer uses on logon:
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Teams Installer\Teams.exe" --checkInstall --source=default
This installed the same version as that of the Machine-Wide installer - 1.30.28779 - in my profile. I was then able to run a 'Check for Updates' within the Teams client, but this only downloaded & updated to the version I'd previously been running and got 'stuck' on - 1.3.00.34662.
