Prestaging a system configures MiWorkspace's management systems to allow the system to be run through the task sequence and complete with all of the proper configurations(or for MiWorkspace systems can configure them for at-home/Intune builds). Prestaging a system that already exists in Active Directory does not delete the AD system object, but it may move it to a different Organizational Unit (OU) depending on the system's group's configuration. Prestaging will also modify the system's group memberships to align it with the system's Resultant Set of Packages/Configurations. Prestaging a system will clear its Package and Configuration Selections to re-align it with the group's configuration.
