Apple Configurator 2 - Failed to create activation request (Solved)

Hello been having this issue for a while. Nearly gave up trying but managed to get around the issue but accident.


The error was: A


An Unexpected error has occured with "iPad".


Failed to create activation request. [com.apple.MobileActivation.ErrorDomain - 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFE (-2) [sys = 0x3f, sub = 0xfff, code = 0x3FFE (16382)]]


after you get the error message on Apple Configurator 2. If you go through the iPad setup settings till you get to the "Choose a Wi-Fi Network" connect the iPad to the Wi-Fi you want and click next. Wait till it get to "Location Service".

After this go to Apple Configurator 2 and prepare the iPad again. Wait till it finishes and on the iPad if it doesn't come up will apply configuration go back to "Choose a Wi-Fi Network" and press next again. The iPad should then be supervised.


Hope this helps.
