That's a great idea, but unfortunately the machines aren't identical. And sometimes people use different machines for
different purposes, so they'll have things set up one way on "machine A" and a different way on "machine B".
I have to say it's surprising to me that MS doesn't have any kind of tool for this - I would think situations like this would
be fairly common.

If the computers are identical, I would create one setup with all required
useraccounts, then log each user on once, and off again, to create the
profile.
I would then disk-image this setup to the other computers.
Transferring the users should then be a fairly straightforward matter of
copying over "Documents and Settings" with a WinPE or Linux bootCD, and then
changing its permissions (including subfolders) to allow access to all users.
(You must do this because of the change of SID)
This does leave you with no security between local accounts, but hey, if you
want to put all those permissions back...
