Not supported? What Citrix means by 'not supported' is that dsmaint can't
migrate the data for you. Moving the sql db from one server (fullblown sql)
to another (msde) has no need of dsmaint/migrate. It's purely a sql thing.
You just need to setup the file dsn and use dsmaint config to reset the
metaframe server to use it. (after you've moved the db, of course)
