Teams on RDS - Issue with Meeting Plugin

I've installed Teams on Server 2022 RDS and have so far envcountered an issue with the Teams Meeting addon for Outlook.

 

Adminstrator user accounts reference the correct path to the addin

 

 

 

Non-admin users reference a different path

 

 

 

As a work-around, I made a copy of the folder with the version referenced in user's addin.

 

 

 

I am installing the plugin using

  • msiexec.exe /i “MicrosoftTeamsMeetingAddinInstaller.msi” ALLUSERS=1 /qn /norestart TARGETDIR=”C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\TeamsMeetingAddin\x.xx.xxxx\” Version number of the addin

    Your MSI line is fine, the folder copy is what breaks. Standard users hit MsiInstaller event 1625 (installation forbidden by system policy) from AppLocker or GPO restrictions, so their per user TMA install fails and they stay on the old version. Copying files fixes one Teams version, then the next update bumps the folder again. Run teamsbootstrapper.exe -p --installTMA on the image after each update instead.
