All, all right? Through the support that I got this solution, for me it worked.
The secret was to create a new AAA sample group and all the machines are inserted into it, so I moved to the correct group.

Teamviewer Support Message:

In the meantime, you can work around the problem by specifying the group ID where the machine should appear after the assignment.

You find the group ID by selecting it in the management console and copying the numbers at the end of the bar.

Attached, you'll find an image highlighting where to find the information.

Here is an example parameter using the image ID.

Note that the letter "g" is used, but the "/" bar is not used:

msiexec.exe /i "\\File Location\TeamViewer_Host.msi" ALLUSERS=1 /qn /norestart /log output.log CUSTOMCONFIGID="AAAAA" APITOKEN="AAAAA-AAAA" IMPORTREGFILE=1 ASSIGNMENTOPTIONS="--reassign --group-id g123456 --grant-easy-access --alias %COMPUTERNAME%"

We are also seeing this issue even when using the group id in the assignment options. Teamviewer 13 used to be seamless at deployment and account assignment now this problem with Teamviewer 14.

no help som from support in this matter, as you are pretty much left for yourself if you have any other deployments then specificed in the documentation.

im left with trial and error until i make this work.

attempting a powershell deploy host first, then assign with teamviewer.exe afterwards using group-id.

i need alias to use both %computername% and %username% and installing just the msi file, they all will be named "System" and will be useless for me.

I'm having the same problem with assigning account.

I tried several coiscas and it does not work. Have these solutions worked for you?

I need to install on 300 computers and I can not find a solution.

Thoford

the response.

Thank you for your inquiry. At this time we currently have a small bug in regards to group assignment. We do however have a workaround which should solve this for you, instead of using the group name parameter you must replace this with --group-id and use the groups id (the group id can be easily found in the Management Console when click on a specific group the last part of the URL - after the last "/" is the group ID)

Although it doesnt help me at all, since i use the AssignmentData.sjon file.

Im also seeing this, and have sent a support ticket to TV about it.

Our organization has just started seeing this registration error in the installation logs. The end result is that no new clients can register themselves to our corporate account.
This is the case in v13.2 and v14 and I have tried all three methods of registration:

Using the MSI host
Using the TeamViewer_Assignment tool
Using TeamViewer.exe

This is a snippet from the logs:

The installation process and binaries have not changed in our organization for over a year so I firmly believe the problem to be with TeamViewer as a company.

PLEASE FIX THIS
