The %packages section of the kickstart template you are using needs to be edited to add the relevant desktop package group. Can't remember off the top of my head, but I think it's @gnome-desktop or @kde-desktop.

You might also need something in the %post section to ensure the graphical.target is reached by systemd (I've not installed RHEL7/CentOS desktop systems from Satellite, so not sure about this part)

You should be able to just remove the "skipx" option in the kickstart [template] (and install a desktop environment). If you install a desktop and don't have skipx the default boot target will be graphical.

(search for "skipx")
