I would do something like the following (disclaimer: I've tried things
like this on Red Hat Linux, but not on the Enterprise beta):

1. rpm -e --nodeps redhat-release
2. rpm -ivh [whatever redhat-release RPM comes with the WS beta]
3. Log into RHN and delete your old system profile for this computer.
4. up2date --register (add --force if needed) and re-register the
   computer. If you're willing to change the profile name, you can
   actually do this before step 3 rather than after.
5. Now use up2date, remove the server packages, etc.

Hope this helps,
