You might be able to put together a step-by-step for your remote users with
this tool:
============= Included Stuff Follows =============
Windows Easy Transfer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Windows Easy Transfer can transfer [1]:
* Files and folders including photos, music, videos, documents, email
messages and contacts
* User accounts and user account settings
* Application configuration data files and settings
* Several Windows configuration settings stored in the registry
The program does not support transferring entire applications themselves
and system files such as fonts and drivers.[1] For transferring certain
supported applications, Microsoft had planned to release Windows Easy
Transfer Companion but never released the final version.[3] Also, for
power users, administrators and enterprise computers, a command-line User
State Migration Tool (USMT) is available.[4].
Transfer methods
There are several methods that can be used [1]:
* Using a proprietary USB-to-USB bridge cable known as the Easy
Transfer Cable
* Using CD/DVD, a USB flash drive, or an external hard disk drive
* Over a wired or wireless network or using an ethernet crossover
cable

I believe the USMT tool is scriptable.
