When you use the campus account you are getting a basic user account,
you lose the admin account. An account is created for you and you are
put in a system group for your department. So you lose the ability to
create groups but you still have the other management funtionality.

Yes, we have one ES system we bought in Dec 2003, as far as I can tell
ES and AS are the same except for marketing and licensing. I want to
make my ES system an AS system, I figured there was some config file
changes and then maybe delete the rhn account and re-register. I would
appreciate the steps.
