I agree with @eternalgod updating specific setup and success helps those like me who have had zero luck.
So far I can’t find another user with MDM only (not DEP) on an M2 which default comes with Ventura.
My USB installer was made of 13.3.1.
And whilst the process worked entirely. There were some key differences to the instructions others have so very kindly posted.
Mainly being.
When I go to wipe the internal drive I need the admin account to unlock it, but also when you erase the internal drive it forces you to connect to the internet to Activate the Mac. Then will automatically reboot to take effect.
This means that you cannot simply restore from the SSD straight away. You have to go back into recovery mode and then restore SSD.
Another one is internet is required for Ventura USB installer override of the ssd restored profile. In adding the internet here I wondered if it did something to call the MDM server who knows.
I wonder if I could block the installation process from calling any enrolment servers who knows..
but that’s been my experience so far. M2 16” with MDM only but no DEP won’t work using the above instructions so I’m left with host file blocking for now :-(
