Are these machines joining a domain? Does the postinst.bat run? I recently discovered that my domain policy didn't allow runonce, which means that postinst.bat would not run. If you are on a domain, check the computer policy to ensure run and runonce are allowed :) If they are indepenant machines, it's debug time :( fire up the registry editor and see if you can find todo.pl in the Run Section. if not, we are in problems. If so. you need to find out why it's not running the things in the run sections.
