I wasn't aware of the Active Setup option when I did my deployment. Instead, I wrote some code in the Post-Install section to parse the User profiles, check for pinned Taskbar items from 2010, create a new reg key to keep track, then add a new entry in each user's RunOnce to execute a script on their next login. I know it likely isn't the cleanest method, but it has worked consistently for me.
