Magic! Turn a CRM 2011 Managed Solution into an Unmanaged one
Not too long ago we needed to convert a managed solution into an unmanaged one, initially I tried a few things like toggling flags in the solution.xml but that didn't work so went straight to the database. Those who turned up to TechEd NZ DYN401 saw this in action, for anyone that missed out here is the session on Channel9.
