Adding new Android devices becomes that much easier with TeamViewer's Mobile Device Management (MDM) Android bulk enrollment solution. This allows you to register multiple Android devices using the device identifiers. This can be done by uploading a CSV file containing the information.
This article applies to all TeamViewer MDM customers.
How to set up bulk enrollment for TeamViewer MDM
The first step is to create the required profile. In TeamViewer Remote or the web app, navigate to the Remote Management tab and then to Devices, located underneath Mobile Device Management. Select Bulk enrollment at the top of Devices. Select + Add bulk profile to begin the process.
Hint: If you have already created one previously, you can create a new one using the same button located in the upper right corner.
Add bulk profile
In the Add bulk profile setup screen, enter the desired name and description for the bulk profile.
Note: Devices must be factory reset in order to be added.
Upload CSV
Next you will upload the CSV file containing the desired device information to enroll. If you have not yet created one, you can download our CSV template to create one.
Note: The CSV allows up to 200,000 rows at a time. It cannot be used to edit or delete devices.
CAUTION: Rows with inadequate information may result in CSV upload failure. Each record should include at least the serial number and manufacturer information, or the IMEI value.
After editing and saving the CSV file, click attach the file and click Upload CSV to begin the process. Once the upload is completed, the new file will replace the upload option in the CSV window.
Bulk enrollment scenarios
The following table explains the scenarios on the outcome based on the attribute value combination entered for bulk enrollment:
Note: Manufacturer name is case-insensitive.
Associate User
Once the bulk upload is complete, the option to associate a user appears in the bottom of the device drawer.
Note: Please ensure you have distributed the configuration Android Enterprise: Work Managed Device to this user.

How to set up bulk enrollment devices
Note: To bulk enroll a device, it must be restored to factory settings if it is not a brand new device. The device must also be running Android 7.0 or later.
On the welcome screen, tap the screen 7 times anywhere except for an active part (ie a get started button). This will initiate QR code enrollment mode. On the next screen, select NEXT to turn on the WiFi (if the device does not have a sim), and enter your wifi credentials on the following screen.
Once the WiFi credentials have been entered, the following screen will check for any updates and will then install the QR code reader.
Note: This can take up to two minutes.
After the QR reader is installed, scan the QR code generated on the Bulk Enrollment profile. Scan the code with the device to finalize the setup.
