Had a colleague prep our first M1 mac and got the following message when running migration assistant.

“Due to an issue with unlocking this system, you can’t migrate. Please update this Mac and retry”

Has anyone seen this error?

This error can be fixed by either installing macOS via a usb drive, or, via another mac and Apple Configurator.
