Today I got my first good look into the management tools which are provided by Microsoft along with HMC,and well, there's not much more to say other than it falls miles short of what you need!

So what are the alternatives then?

Well since everything in MPS is based on .Net Framework & XML, you could develop your own CP which will suit your needs precisely, however, this would take some time & a significant investment.

Alternatively you could purchase a Provisioning Engine & CP Solution from someone out there at a pretty high cost.

OR

You could head over to the HMC ASP.Net forums & sign up on developing an OpenSource Solution which can Plug On top of the MPE/MPS Servers in your environment. You Dont necessarily need to be a coding or design guru, just someone who wants to learn, have fun doing it & benefit the IT world as a whole.

I know NOTHING about coding, .Net, XML etc, yet I still signed up as think it will be an awesome driving force in learning those aspects of my job! Head over there now & Sign up!
