Prepare Apple TV in Apple Configurator 2
You prepare Apple TV just as you would an iPhone or iPad. When you prepare an Apple TV, you can enroll it in a mobile device management (MDM) solution, update software, or add configuration profiles to it. When you update tvOS, you can rename the device and choose the language and region.
Apple TV supports specific payload settings. Other payloads apply only to iPhone and iPad devices but not to Apple TV.
WARNING: Preparing devices may take a few minutes, and you shouldn’t stop the installation after it starts. If you try to cancel or stop the process, Apple Configurator 2 takes the time necessary to safely terminate all operations. Don’t shut down the Mac running Apple Configurator 2 while it’s preparing devices—doing so could damage the devices.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Apple TV (HD or 4K) connected to a monitor
Apple TV and the Mac on the same Wi-Fi or Ethernet network (with Bonjour enabled across subnets if necessary)
Prepare Apple TV HD or Apple TV 4K using Wi-Fi or Ethernet
Make sure your Apple TV is connected to the same network your Mac is connected to.
Make sure the Apple TV is at the first screen of the Setup Assistant that says Pair Your Remote.
