Features of a Home Directory Management Agent?

I'm currently working on a Management Agent for provisioning and deprovisioning home directories (and other directories) for users in ILM / FIM environments. I do a lot of Proof of Concepts and a typical scenario is home folder handling. Therefore I'm working on building a generic homefolder MA that rocks and is highly customizable. Some basic features currently are -
  1. Create and apply ACLS for user
  2. Move / rename based on, i.e. sAMAccountName
  3. Deletion / removal
I'd very much like some additional feature that you see customers may need in the real world. I'll make the MA generally available for testing / PoC's when I'm done.

    great idea! Another feature that would be good would be applying user quota restrictions.

    A couple of people have asked where I am in the process of creating the MA. I'm still working on it since I want it to be solid before release. As soon as possible I'll post a beta release for testing purposes.

    Stay tuned...

    Any update on this matter? I would like to start to play with this kind of stuff was well, an example would be super. I followed the whitepaper of ensynch but I kinda got stuck on the ILM activities. No clue what to select and where to start coding. I will google around a bit more :)

    Hey, guys...
    Thank for all the interest; I've been stuck in customer projects so I've not had much time to finish up my HomeDir MA.

    But I promise to publish as soon as possible;

    @SilvaNet: To answer your question - its currently being written in C# and on .NET FrameWork 4.0
