Manage Your TeamViewer 12 Devices’ Policies Easily with the Assignment Check and Offline Assignment

In a company environment, you need to have full control over how all devices are running.

That’s where policies for many different devices come into play.

At our workplaces, I’m sure everyone of us has at least one device we’re working with – if not more.

That means that in a company with a few hundred employees, you might soon deal with more than a thousand devices to manage and apply policy settings to.

Whether you’re using more general policy settings or you rolled out customized ones with the new Policy API :

When applying them, you must be absolutely sure the devices adapt the changes correctly and that’s especially true when managing larger numbers of them. Also, if something’s wrong, corrections should be easy to perform.

There should be an uncomplicated way to check and correct the devices’ policy status, right?

With the New Policy Assignment, There’s Nothing to Worry About

The TeamViewer 12 Policy Assignment enables you to check on all your managed devices’ policies inside the management console with just as much as a glance.

Specifically, it will show you

• To which devices policies are assigned
• The name of the policy
• If the policy was applied successfully or respectively that something went wrong.

Note that you can apply policies to devices even when they’re offline! The settings will be changed as soon as a device is online again.

Another useful function is that you can apply settings in bulk actions with simple checkboxes.

How to Use the Policy Assignment

With the TeamViewer Management Console, it is now possible to easily check for devices which are not compliant with your policy setting and find important information to identify problems on policy assignment and decide how to react.

Note: Assigning and using TeamViewer setting policies is only available for managed devices. Please make sure you assign all devices to your account beforehand.
