the fix after talking to support was to assign via "C:\Program Files\TeamViewer\TeamViewer.exe" assignment --id API_KEY, it just doesnt do that in one go from an original install command. second was to disable managed group assignment and disable automatically add people to group. i believe these are all settings pertinent to the old groups

i have tried the following:

install from gpo - which is unsuported, but should be supported out of direct EXE and MSI direct install correct?

2. no, .EXE & .MSI still will require to "allow and finish" for company assignment however i dont always get this prompt, sometimes the prompt shows up an hour later, sometimes i accept the prompt but it still will not reassign.

3. have tried clean uninstall (regedit removal of teamviewer paths) and removal of old style tv device from console to no avail, cannot migrate a device manually, i cannot reinstall and assign to company

4. essentially whoever deployed TV host to some workstations has forever rights to that workstation no matter who physically owns it, because it is still assigned to an old different than company account, simply uninstalling and reinstalling wont do if that device is already addedd to someone elses account. whos account is it assigned to? we may never know. hundreds of devices that i have to manually install and troubleshoot.

5. tried export config file and reimporting into clients, obviously thats failed too
