    Hi @Oto

    I assume that you want to upgrade several devices from v12 to v14 because you are using a batch file executed by GPO. In this case, I would recommend uninstalling the existing v12 installations and performing a reinstallation including assignment via MSI. This article should help you with this process.

    The command you are using no longer works with v14 when installing with msi.

    I hope this helps you. Regards,
    Sven

    Thanks,,

    I have v12 on 200PC and all are in contact list

    What is best process to migrate to v14:

    1 Uninstall v12 by GPO script
    msiexec.exe /uninstall "Path\To\TeamViewer_Host.msi"

    2 Install v 14 by GPO script
    msiexec.exe /i "Path\To\TeamViewer_Host.msi" /qn APITOKEN=<YOUR_APITOKEN> ASSIGNMENTOPTIONS="--alias %COMPUTERNAME%"
    Ho to combine with IMPORTREGFILE=1 and  CUSTOMCONFIGID=<YOUR_CUSTOMCONFIG_ID>

    Thanks for recomendation. Oto

    Hi @Oto

    the process could be as follows:

    1. Export a TeamViewer options reg file with your preferred options (from an existing installation)
    2. Uninstall your v12 via a GPO script including this command:  
      msiexec.exe /uninstall "Path\To\TeamViewer_Host.msi" /qn
      (/qn forces a silent uninstallation)
    3. Copy your CUSTOMCONFIGID and your APITOKEN from the Management Console
    4. Download the v14 TeamViewer_host.msi
    5. Put the options reg file into the same directory as the TeamViewer_host.msi
    6. Execute the installtion of v14 via a GPO script including this command: 
      msiexec.exe /i "Path\To\TeamViewer_Host.msi" /qn APITOKEN=<YOUR_APITOKEN> IMPORTREGFILE=1 CUSTOMCONFIGID=<YOUR_CUSTOMCONFIG_ID> ASSIGNMENTOPTIONS="--alias %COMPUTERNAME%" /lvx msi.log
       (/lvx msi.log is just for creating a msi log in case errors occur)

    Regards

    Hi @Oto,

    when you are doing an update, the Computers should already by in your contact list, or did you remove them before? In this case you should also add a group to your assignment parameters so the device is moved to a specific group.

    Regards

    Hi Swen,

    It is new computer

    I edit .bat script to

    start msiexec /i "D:\@install\Teamviewer14\TeamViewer_Host.msi" /qn CUSTOMCONFIGID=xxx APITOKEN=xxx IMPORTREGFILE=1 ASSIGNMENTOPTIONS="--reassign --alias ""%COMPUTERNAME%"" --group ""@new"" --grant-easy-access"

    and nothing happen

    Thanks

    Hi @Oto,

    you don't need to use the assignment parameter "--reassign" when you rollout to a new computer and make a complete new assignment. "--reassign" is only necessary when your computer is already assigned and you want to move it to another group or changing the alias, etc...

    If that doesn't help I would recommend contacting our technical support, so they can analyze your log files in order to detect possible problems.

    Regards

    Hi,

    i currently had the same issue. I created a customized host client, set the options "add to a group" and "allow account assignment..."

    Then i created a script with the same options as yours. It never adds the computer to the group.

    My solution(its also mentioned at the top of the "mass deployment" article):

    Hint: Please beware we currently have an issue with the assignment with the --group; please use the --group-id at this point. Please see below for details.

     

    So u basically have to use the --group-id parameter. With this option it works for me. But it is clearly a bug.

    Did you use the correct group ID? It has to be something like g12345678. Also, the computer you want to assign has to be online in the moment of the installation.

    Log in into Managment Console. On the left you can see your groups. Click on the wanted group. Look at the URL, its something like "https://login.teamviewer.com/nav/home/buddies/g/**Please do not post TeamViewer IDs**4". Now you take the last numbers with the g, that is your group ID.
