Not sure if they changed this in their latest release, but in the release I
worked with, since my HDMI cable was too big to have the USB cable plugged
in as well, I just pulled it out once it reached that home screen point. I
didn't need any on-screen dialog to work with. It wasn't feasible unless I
wanted to damage the USB port or cable. Ironically though, even if I waited
the allotted time for the AppleTV to boot up with no HDMI cable in, it never
worked..

The newest release of the Apple TV software does support WPA2 Enterprise
but, of course, there's a catch. It can't be configured directly from the
Apple TV itself. It has to be done using the Apple Configurator software and
pushed to the Apple TV via the USB port on the back (at least that was the
case the last time I looked at this).  

 

A good gotcha to note for anyone trying this.it's possible to use an HDMI
cable with too large of a connector which covers the USB port on the Apple
TV. One of our staff ran into this trying to push a WPA2 Enterprise profile
to an Apple TV. The USB cable had to be plugged in to push the profile but
there's some on-screen dialog to work with too apparently that requires the
HDMI cable to be connected. Hooray for technology.

Necessity is the mother of invention.  This has probably been mentioned
before, but this reminds me of AppleTalk zones.  All that had to be worked
out in advance to gain acceptance in business, but now IT is being
"consumerized" and so the process is reversed once demand reaches critical
mass.

 

And the article says Apple TV doesn't support WPA2 Enterprise.  Didn't they
add that in the last Apple TV software update?

Thanks, Peter. Not sure how "angry" we all are, but certainly frustrated by
hoops required to try to make anything out of Bonjour on big networks.
Hopefully, Apple moves quickly and delivers something that is the right fit.
That they responded is awesome, but whether they work with any real
customers for beta testing or whatever remains to be seen.

A co-worker pointed me at this: 

Thought you guys might find this article interesting especially since we are
experiencing this first hand.
