I believe it is definitely a iPad 2 issue as I was able to update 3 other device in the whole 2 hours that the device attempted to activate. After this everything is now back up and running.

Restoring via iTunes allowed the device the get past the first step of the activation (which has changed in iOS 9.3) and then the device was able to take over from where iTunes itself could not. Only way to recover from any backup was to disconnect the iPad from the PC at this stage and then manually setup on the iPad itself. Solution we worked out between us was to enter recovery mode, and reinstall 9.3 through iTunes (PC) which brought up the option to setup as a new device. He checked his side and everything stated that the device was still on the previous release.

As it was the businesses device and was unsure of when the device had been backed up last, I called Apple Care and the operator wasn’t aware that it was an issue.

Uses the hazardous materials regulations to determine the. I had the same issue where the iPad could not reach the activation server (release day). Sends products from one place to another by truck, rail, vessel, or airplane.
