By assigning a device to a TeamViewer account, the device can be remotely managed and monitored by the account at any time.
Remotely monitoring a device gives you the ability to check for common issues like
- outdated antivirus protection
- a disabled firewall
- missing Windows updates
- a full disk drive
It also allows you to activate one of your Remote Management end-points for more advanced monitoring and anti-malware protection.
This article applies to all TeamViewer (Classic) licenses.
