RHEL 7, switch to graphical session?
Alright dumb question - after kickstarting a workstation with the 'text' option, I end up with a non-X workstation. The kickstart also specifies "Server with GUI" which pulls in GNOME. After some updates and whatnot, I executed:
systemctl enable graphical.target --force
Rebooted.
Still no X.
Before I monkey around anymore, is there something I missed?
Thanks!

Hi Kodiak, using spaces in group/environment names should be possible in the %packages section.
Looking at the examples you provided it seems that originally, you forgot the '^' character in the environment definition. That's why it failed.
@Server with GUI is syntax for specifying a group, and no group with that name exists. @^Server with GUI is the proper syntax for an environment, and should work fine. @^graphical-server-environment should also work fine.
Also, the Kickstart failed non-obviously because you used the --ignoremissing option for the %packages section. If you don't use this option, you'll get an error if you specify a non-existent package, group or environment.
