Iphone configuration utility upgrade to new ipads?

Question

I have six ipads (all ipad 2 and 3) that I want to replace with the iPad 4. I have the UDID numbers for the old machines.
Here is the issue, the old iPads I do not have access nor are they own the same network. Can I copy the old UDID setup to the new iPad and tell it to setup via wifi? Will I need the person's passcode, if they changed it. Lastly, I am not sure who backs up what information to iCloud vs just using iTunes.
My goal is to give the person the new iPad with their current setup  with photos, notes, documents intact.
TIA.

So With Exchange, notes, calendar, contacts and email would be present on the Exchange Server and could be restored to the new device when the user enters their credentials.  You could use an IPCU profile on the device to deploy the Exchange server settings.  The user would simply need to enter their login credentials when they receive the device and they could immediately connect to mail.  Perhaps you could have the users transfer their photo's to a home computer.  The photo transfer occurs prior to iTunes sync ( at least in my experience in Windows XP and Windows  7) so they wouldn't need to worry about configuring iTunes settings.  Perhaps any documents could be attached to email and stored in the email system prior to email setup on the new devices.  I know it isn't ideal, but I can't think of another way that would work well, and relatively painlessly.An MDM would allow you to perform many of the tasks described OTA, though photo backup and document transfer would still have to occur manually.
