Flatten, wipe disks and reinstall OS.

Well it is my professional opinion based upon the note "...just taken over the IT support
of a new client. The previous IT company didn't look after the server or workstations very
well" and I believe you need to start them on a clean slate free of defects and malware
and thus my suggestion to wipe and re-instal from scratch.

If you had conficker and this was a company you belonged to and were a part of I would
suggest trying to slug it out.

No, most good AV programs and some of the better antimalware programs
should be able to rid you of Conficker.

....but the condition these machines were left in makes me think that
Conficker probably isn't your only problem.
