Satellite 6 Dev to Production

We were told today that we are no longer able to kickstart systems in the production zone. If we build systems in dev and then move them to Prod after its built and tested what kind of problems will i run into?

I need suggestions. I've recently started linux and my first task was to build the Satellite Server. The Sat Server is built I was pretty confident before we got the news today.

I realize if I build systems in Dev there would be a manual process to get them in Production. I'm thinking that I would only use puppet just to configure the systems in Dev and after the systems are tested to have to go back to the system and manually change each ip. (We don't use DHCP) It seems even if I did that I would have to go back into the Sat Server and also change a bunch of things in there also.

Is there another documentation or ideas? I have roughly 100 systems that need to be built by next Friday.
