To to get rounds this you need to write a bat file for the task you want to execute, like if you want to find the IP address you would open notepad and type the below

@echo off

cls

ipconfig /all

pause

goto

:eof

Save the file to the desktop as IP.bat, you can also see what services packs and updates installed on the computer using a bat file.

Hope this helps.

Are you trying to get a "Run" box" without the shortcut? "Windows" key +"R"

Is the Domain Admin group a member of the (local) Administrators group on the machines you're having problems with?

Are they not showing up in the start menu? as local admin go to start run gpedit.msc Administrative templates - start menu and taskbar and double click remove run command from start menu and add the run command from the start menu. You may have a group policy that is disabling the run. I didn't see anything about Microsoft updates.
