Trying to get our 1st aTV into Jamf, and getting nowhere. Unfortunately, the KB article I've found here seems out-dated, as it is still suggesting that the configuration will be done over USB.
Here is what I'm seeing:
I've created an enrollment profile in the Jamf console, basic settings, nothing special.
Performed a full reset on the aTV itself.
When the aTV reboots, it comes up in Paired Devices, and I can pair successfully.
I can select the aTV within Configurator 2, and then hit "Prepare".
I can step through each of the steps, and all appears to go through.
I then turn to the aTV, step through until I get to the "Remote Management" screen. It recognizes the profile, I select "Apply Configuration" and then I get an error stating that
The aTV shows up in Apple Configurator 2 (2.7.1, fwiw).
I can select it, and hit "Prepare". I chose "Manual Configuration" with "Supervise devices" checked (and "allow devices to pair with other computers".
I have an entry for our Jamf server, I hit "next" and step through the next few screens without issue. It sends the configuration to the aTV without an error.
I then turn to the aTV, and step through the initial screens (language, country, etc.) until I get to Remote Management.
My profile appears as I'd expect. I hit "Apply Configuraton" and almost immediately get the error "The configuration for your Apple TV could not be downloaded from <Server>. Invalid Profile".
I've blown away the enrollment profile, re-created, wiped the aTV multiple times, etc., but I keep ending up at the same spot. Any tips or suggestions?

@Taylor.Armstrong - What model of Apple TV are you trying to enroll? Also, if you're already using Configurator and it has tvOS 11+ on it, I'd also suggest adding it to DEP (if available) so it ends up being your last time touching it to enroll.

4K model, running tvOS 12.1.1
Sadly, DEP not an option. Trust me - been fighting that battle for 3+ years (the joys of red tape in the .gov).

Having the exact same problem, but I solved it.
The only difference is that I clicked "Visit" on the Open Enrollment page which downloaded a mobileconfig file onto my computer. Then I added that profile in AC2 to the device.
However, it should be noted that my 2 main reasons for enrolling were ineffectual...
1. NONE of the apps in my blueprint were installed
2. I couldn't figure out how to activation lock the device(s) so if stolen the new "owner" should have no problem wiping
Frustrating! I don't see the point in enrolling other than inventory (which is much easier on a Google sheet).
I hope that helps!
