Trying to enroll some New iPads into DEP and Jamf using configuration but I keep getting this error msg. It only happens on the new iPads our older fleet are enrolling fine

Try again. We get this message as well, especially if provisioning multiple iPads at once. I chalk it up to a slow jamf jss.

We use 4 MacBook Airs with Configurator 2 to prepare iPads. Tried preparing 8 at a time and we would get errors like this. We then tried 4 at a time (1 per MacBook Air instead of 2 per MacBook Air) and it seemed to work much better.

I don’t think it a slowness issue, it only happens with the new iPads. All the ones we bought last year and before go through fine.

I just found this on the apple forums, I’ll try when I get back to wor

Hi,

I had the same problem and i've tried anything in Apple Configurator and i've checked a lot of forum.
I finally found that, after you reinitiliaze the iPAD, if the iPAD is not connected on the wifi and I try to enrolling it manually, i had the error 0x80EF. If I connect the iPAD to the wifi, and retry to enrolling it, it work.

Sorry for my english, I hope it will help you.
