InfoPath Dev

I'm the net admin for a 170ish user company.... we have a high rate of turnover and keeping up with new users, department moves is very tough.
I've messed with Infopath enough to create basic forms ( to make my life easier)..then submit to our programmers to clean up and add functionality to them....our programmers have just built a sharepoint site and in a few months will be purchasing Knowledge Lake....anyway, my idea...

Is it possible, or ever worth the time, to build an infopath new hire/user form that will reference a template user account in active directory to create user accounts? Form would place the user in the proper OU, mail enable the account...etc..etc..?

sorry... forgot to mention how sharepoint would play in this... our new user forms would be submitted in sharepoint by HR....

I cant see why this couldnt be done:
you could get your coders to hook up on the DirectorySearcher in managed code.

MCC - I don't know if you are still looking for a solution to your problem, but I've used a software package in the past called IDEAS for AD - fromhttp://www.lucidyn.com - that gives you access to template forms for creating users (or any other AD object) through Sharepoint. I think they have a stand-alone version as well. It doesn't use InfoPath, but it does what you need it to do...
