Hello!

Is it possible to clone/duplicate/transfer AppleTV settings across multiple devices? 

Specifically, I would like to be able to deploy AppleID settings, screen saver and sleep settings, Home Sharing settings across 17 AppleTVs. I'd prefer not to have to enter this manually on each AppleTV, but I cannot not find a place in Jamf Cloud to configure these settings. Can it be done?

I dont have the answer for you, but perhaps I can point you in the right direction.  Using a Mac with Apple Configurator 2, there is a "blueprint" options. I think you set up one of your Apple TVs, and with blue print it will take in the settings. From there create a BluePrint and apply to the others. Let me know.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that AC2 will only recognize an AppleTV when it is on the initial setup screen. At least that was my experience when dealing with new AppleTVs that were not enrolled in ABM. And I had to connect the AppleTV physically to the Mac via Ethernet.
