Ways to enroll Apple TVs in HexnodeSolved

Hey, Thanks for reaching out to us.

Yes, there is. There are two methods of enrollment for the Apple TV:

1. Apple Configurator Enrollment.
2. ABM Enrollment.

The Apple Configurator enrollment method does not require an ABM account.
To enroll an Apple TV using Apple Configurator:

• Navigate to Enroll > Platform – Specific > tv OS > Apple Configurator. Assign a user and click Save.
• Create a Wi-Fi profile in Apple Configurator.
• Create a Blueprint in Apple Configurator.
• Connect the Apple TV to the Mac running Apple Configurator and apply the Blueprint.

Please check out our help doc on enrolling Apple TV for more detailed steps.
