Hello together,


I want to assign a group via a silent installation.

Unfortunately, I always find the computer under "unknown".


Installation via:

msiexec.exe /i "TeamViewer_full.msi" /qn SETTINGSFILE="settings.tvopt" APITOKEN=1234567-abcdefghijklmnopqrst ASSIGNMENTOPTIONS="--alias %ComputerName% --group-id gxxxxxxxxx --grant-easy-access --reassign"


I got the group-id from the link of the specific group (https. . . login. teamviewer. com/nav/buddies/g/xxxxxxxxx/list)


where is the error?

Thank you for your help.


many greetings

Ralf

    Hey @RB5 ,

    thanks for contacting us :)

    I checked the parameter that is being used for the installation. However, that seems to be ok. some quick questions that might help to figure our what's going on:

    1. Does the device appear in the group if you deleted the entry? (this way I can tell if the assignment worked correctly)
    2. Do you have permission to add devices to the group via the account that holds the APITOKEN?
    3. Did you use the group-id as such "--group-id g123456789" (sometimes the "g" in front of the numbers is forgotten)
    4. Does it work with a freshly created module?

    Thanks in advance and happy holidays


    Festive greetings

    Hey @RB5 ,

    thank you for the swift reply :)

    with 1) I meant the device in the computers & contacts list. 4) With this I meant a freshly created custom module via design & deploy.

    Best regards

    Hey Benjamin,

    I deleted the device from the computer and contact list. After that it appears again in the group "Unknown".


    Unfortunately, it didn't work with a new module either. In this case, it also appears under "unknown".


    Best regards

    Hey Ralf :) Thanks for the reply.

    Maybe it was just a problem within the network. I'm glad it works now.

    I wish you great holidays and a happy new year o/
