Then, because TeamViewer Host runs as a background service, as long as the machine is online and has connectivity, you can remotely connect to the machine at any time. Some of these features really come in handy at times.įor laptops and PCs, you can make a script to pull the TeamViewer ID# that the machine is using from the registry when the asset gets audited. I like how TeamViewer provides the extra features like file transfer, chat, taking a screenshot, disabling keyboard and mouse, blanking screen, allowing for multiple technicians to be connected to the same TeamViewer session. For laptops, desktops, and terminal servers you can install a customized version of TeamViewer Host that is lightweight, runs as a background service, is easily launchable by the user, and will provide the user only the information they need to provide you. If you are using a VDI environment, you can deploy a customized pre-configured lightweight portable EXE to your domain controllers' NETLOGON folder and have GPO push out a shortcut launcher to users' Desktop. I like how there are multiple flavors of the TeamViewer client for different styles of deployment.
