How do I migrate from the "Basic Server" profile to the "Desktop" profile without reinstalling the OS?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • During initial installation the "Basic Server" package profile was selected. However, once the system restarted we determined that we wanted a full GUI applied. How can we add the GUI as well as the graphical application packages without having to completely reinstall the OS?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3
