AD scripting - same here at EHWLC - we started off with NT scripts you can still do this from a simple command pronpt too - and with powershell do exchange 2007 mailboxes as well.
your VB script (or command line) can create users, create home folders and set permissions and create a mailbox and email address.

We did essentially the same when I was at Tower Hamlets College. The script also created the user areas in SharePoint, and disabled any accounts for students who had withdrawn from all their courses.

We run a nightly vbscript that updates AD with staff/student info from our MIS (Agresso QL).
You may need a bit of scripting experience and knowledge of your MIS system. Saying that I had very little VB experience! Its worked very well for 3 years :)

Subject: AD Tools
Hi everyone,
We are pretty new to AD (Moving from eDir) and was wondering what tools people use for managing and manipulating their Directory?
In particular, how do people import student user accounts and passwords at the beginning of the year?
All help gratefully received!
Best wishes,
Robin
