Move View desktop from one virtual center to another

We are in the process of moving our virtual machine hosts to a new vcenter(4.1).  I found Vmware KB 1018045 that says I cannot move view managed desktops between vcenter servers by using the administration graphical interfaces.  They suggest contacting vmware professional services organizations to have scripts created to move the desktops.  Does anyone have another solution that would not require getting the vmware professioonal services organization involved?

the only way i could think of is to do a manual clone the VM from one VC to another VC. This can be achieve using vmware converter. very tedious.

I have found a solution to my issue. I had to remove the Desktip from the current Automated Desktop Pool, then attached it to a new  Manual Desktop pool assiciated with the newVcenter 4.1.
