Creating SQL Server CE database on server

Is it possible to create a SQL server CE 2.0 database on a desktop
running SQL Server? We're currently building the database on the device
itself but would like to prebuild it on the server and just send it
down. Microsoft describes something in:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;301217&sd=tech
This really seems like just a hack.
You can create the databases on the PPC emulator, so I didn't think it
would be too far of a stretch to create them on the server.the really great news is you can create it on the desktop/server in SQL
2005! However, the method described in the link you have provided is the way
I have always done it.

platforms. It's just that we aren't quite ready to switch yet..
