Hi,
We are having a infstrastructure with 1 Parent NS and 4 Child NSs. The packages are created and managed on the parent NS. Because we do not need packages on all Package Servers and also to save disk space we use generally the setting "Package Servers automatically with manual prestaging". This works out quit well.
However, we would like certain packages to be prestaged. These packages are used during deployment phase. And we would like them to be ready before we even start the first deployment of computer.
Unfortunately trying to assign the package to the site for example using ASDK does not work because all "manual" assignments are removed whe replication is run. This is the current implementation. Here the idea posted to get this changed:

I thought maybe somebody has faced the same challenge and found some workaround. Please share if you have an idea how this could be achieved.
Thanks.
