Migration Assistant kicks back to Login screen

Just started using Jamf Pro and Connect. In anticipation of upgrading some users from existing non-Jamf Macs to new Jamf Macs, I tried a migration assistant test on a few brand new MacBook Air M2's. On the source Mac, migration assistant sits on a "setting up" screen for 5+ minutes before kicking back to the login screen. 

I confirmed this to be related to Jamf because I successfully got migration assistant working with a non-jamf MacBook Air M2. 

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Thanks. Believe me, I searched up and down the internet including that thread from 2015. Was hoping for something more recent. Seems like the only fix may be to remove enrollment.

This seems to have fixed my Migration Assistant not loading issue:

sudo /usr/local/bin/authchanger -reset

How did you revert it back to JAMF Connect login window once completed?

I encountered this problem with NoMAD/NoLoAD. sudo /usr/local/bin/authchanger -reset worked here. Thank you!
