TeamViewer contact list import

avatar

Hi there,

I built a tool which is able to export all TeamViewer contact list connections (so called devices) including their groups inside teamviewer.

It was built to be able to import them into RemoteDesktopManager so it produces a RDM compatible csv file which can be imported using default csv importer.

If there are any errors or feature requests please feel free to create an issue at github because I am not monitoring this forum post.

Hi,

I was looking for a way to import TeamViewer data into RDM as well and was glad that I found your post, unfortunately I don't get the program to work. I entered the token into the config file, started the program and got the following error message:



Any idea why that might be?

It seems like the tool is unable to get the group list. I think this is an error because it has not the permission from the app. (Trying it without the group read permission is generating the same error message your wrote on my pc.)

Can you please check if your app has two settings?





The readme missed these information, so I the app permission details to the github project page.

Thanks, that did the trick, I only allowed "Computers and Contacts" to be read.

Hi Stefan

Very cool! Does this room still work with the actual Teamviewer Version? Will it also get the passwords?

Cheers

Hello Patrick,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding this matter.

This thread is quite old, and the tool mentioned here was created by a member of our community. Unfortunately, I am uncertain if it is still functional or compatible with the latest versions.

To better assist you, could you please provide additional details about what you are trying to accomplish in this case? Are you attempting to import your data from TeamViewer into RDM?

Let me know,

Best regards,

Samuel Dery

Hey Samuel

Yes exactly I want to import all entries from Teamviewer into RDM, so we can start them from within RDM instead of going trough the TV app.
Is there a way to export and import them via RDM?

Thanks for your help.

Hello Patrick,

Thank you for your reply,

I see, If you're using "TeamViewer Manager" we have an import option for this directly under "File" -> "Import" -> "Sessions".

If not, then perhaps you could generate an export using the .csv format which could then be adjusted for RDM? We have the following knowledge base article regarding .csv imports:
https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/windows/commands/file/import/generic-csv-wizard/strategies-file-format/

Let me know,

Best regards,

Hi Sam

There is no Teamvier Manager anymore, it was discontinued years ago.

I did already a manual csv Import and found a bug: The password I put in the csv was ignored. Just empty, the rest was imported.

Can you check this csv format, if it's correct it is a bug:

Host,Name,ConnectionType,Group,Description,TeamViewer\Password,TeamViewer\ID
1234567,NBK-13 Christian,TeamViewer,Company X,,password,1234567

The tool from Stefan still works, but the Problem is, that TV introduce d a new kind of group this year. Device Groups, which it won't catch anymore.

So I talked to TV and they have sent me this new query to get it.
It would be great if Stefan could implement it in his tool, as this worked great and created the csv which is RDM ready.

So I just hope he still reads this ;-)

Cheers
Patrick

Hello Patrick,

Thank you for your swift reply and for the enrichment you have made to this thread.

The column name that must be used for your "Password" field in your CSV file should be "CredentialPassword". After making this change, your entries should be imported with their passwords.

Best regards,
