I now have our systems using the Salt method (yay!). Now I have the issue of the "memory" of the packages that needed to be installed, yet when I manually run yum update on these servers, I'm told there are no packages to update. So how can I force these systems to reflect this? I tried deleting the systems and then re-adding, but no luck.

Hey
Did you created the bootstrap repository for that product:
https://www.uyuni-project.org/uyuni-docs/en/uyuni/client-configuration
/boots
trap-repository.html
The channels added via `spacewalk-common-channels` do not sync automatically, so make sure you followed all the instructions at the doc:
https://www.uyuni-project.org/uyuni-docs/en/uyuni/client-configuration/
clients-centos.html
Something tells me you missed the sync, and that's why the bootstrap repository is not available.
Also remember about the other steps (creating the activation key, trusting the GPG key...)
This is needed once, then you can bootstrap as many CentOS7 clients as you want by using the bootstrap script.
Also, a big warning: it seems you created a bootstrap script for traditional client tools, that are now deprecated. Please consider using a bootstrap script for salt.

Thanks all for the help earlier. Now I am just trying to get our
servers registered to our local Uyuni system. I followed the
bootstrap method, creating an shell script, but when I launch it, I get the following:
