Automatic My Site creation with SharePoint 2007

Last week I got the question if it would be possible to automatically create the My Site for a specific user in SharePoint Server  2007. Normally the My Site gets created when the user accesses it for the first time. I got a some advice from a fellow MVP - Pierre  but when I looked at it a little more closely I noticed that some of the classes used in SharePoint Portal Server 2003 are now obsolete.

public static void CreatePersonalSite(string sAccount)
{

      //get portal site context from topology
      string strUrl = "http://moss";

      //TopologyManager Obsolete
      TopologyManager tm = TopologyManager();

      PortalSite ps = tm.PortalSites[new Uri(strUrl)];
      PortalContext pc = PortalApplication.GetContext(ps);

      //initialize user profile config manager object

      UserProfileManager upm = UserProfileManager(pc);
      UserProfile u = upm.GetUserProfile(sAccount);

      u.CreatePersonalSite();

}

So how does the code look like using the new SharePoint Server 2007 object model.

public static void CreatePersonalSite(string sAccount)
{
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://moss"))
    {
       ServerContext context = ServerContext.GetContext(site);
       UserProfileManager profileManager = new UserProfileManager(context);
       UserProfile u = profileManager.GetUserProfile(sAccount);
       u.CreatePersonalSite();

    }
}
