About Auto Advance for Apple TV and Mac

The Auto-Advance option located inside of the Automated Device Enrollment Library Item allows an Apple TV or Mac to skip all setup assistant steps when connected to ethernet while in Setup Assistant. This feature streamlines the enrollment process by automatically progressing through all Setup Assistant screens without user interaction.

How It Works

Auto Advance works by configuring the Automated Device Enrollment Library Item to automatically progress through Setup Assistant screens.
