As a long-time TV user, I would say "No" to all.

Firstly because it's doing everything I want it to do without any of
that stuff.

Secondly because I strongly suspect all of that stuff will still be
available post-installation if/when you decide to use it.

This would be only if you wanted to print something from one machine to
the other machine printer. Which way I don't know as I've never used
it. I can print to a PDF on the remote machine and do a file transfer,
so I'd say it's not needed

And the other items I'm not using either.

I've made an account with TV only since it holds all my users and makes
it easy. But technically you could just call the person, have them
pull up TV and read the codes and connect manually. No account needed IIRC.

I've never used it myself, so I'm not quite sure what it gives you more
than a normal TV or Remote Desktop connection...

From the TV7 manual (admittedly a bit old):
The VPN connection mode lets you create a virtual private network (VPN)
between two TeamViewer computers. Two computers connected via VPN act as
in a common network. This allows you to access the resources of your
partner's computer and vice versa. TeamViewer must be installed with the
option Use TeamViewer VPN on both sides. Sample uses of TeamViewer VPN:
Print documents on an enabled printer connected to the remote computer,
Give external participants access to devices (e. g. hard drives or USB
sticks) connected to the
remote computer.

Use TeamViewer Remote Print.

Useless? Do you intend to print remotely?

Add-In for Outlook.

This is TV's "Meeting" addIn; do you plan to do shared-desktop meetings
with people and you don't have Lync or WebEx?

Per Mandy Liefbowitz:

Why not? It can't do much harm and it does increase the difficulty
spooks and thieves will have reading your emails.

I would look for bandwidth issues as the video stream has to go through
the VPN server.

A Virtual Private Network program. It's supposed to hide your IP
address to make tracking you harder. Sometimes they do but if their
servers are based in UKland they *MUST* keep logs by law and those
logs *MUST* be open to the cops, Gas Company, Tax Guys and just about
everyone else.

The advantages are better security and better anonymity unless you
pick UKland servers.

An interesting wrinkle. I wasn't aware of this VPN-specific ruling, if
it is indeed so. On the whole, things inside the EU (of which we're
still a part for the moment!) are _better_ protected privacy-wise than
outside; quite often, in the Terms and Conditions for signing up to
things, we get "we reserve the right to store data in countries outside
the EU, where privacy legislation is less stringent" (they don't always
include the second bit); sometimes the US is specifically mentioned as
where government access is specifically granted by (mostly anti-ter'-
ist - or failing that anti-p'file) legislation.

Though it's all academic in practice, I suspect: I'm sure our spooks
(and corporate hackers) are in practice into everything anyway, just the
same as yours are, and certainly those in other countries (two in
particular).

FWIW, I find TeamViewer extremely useful in my role as (unpaid of
course) support person to lots of people, including a blind couple with
whom it's otherwise very difficult to discuss what they're doing, as
their access software (speech and Braille) presents things in a very
different way to how they appear on-screen.

(For some reason I had the feeling that TeamViewer's servers are in
Germany, but I can't remember why I think that.)
