I have a batch file called test.bat
. I am calling the below instructions in the test.bat
file:
start /min powershell.exe %sysdrive%\testScripts\testscript1.ps1
When I run this through the command prompt, my testscript is running successfully. I want to run it as administrator (as if I have created a desktop shortcut and run as administrator. It shouldn't prompt for any username or password).
I have tried adding /elevate
and /NOUAC
parameters in the above test.bat
, but no luck. How do I fix this issue?
I know how to do it manually, but I want this to be executed from the command prompt.
(By Marnix Klooster): ...without using any additional tools, like those suggested in an answer to Super User question How to run program from command line with elevated rights.)
This question is related to
powershell
cmd
command-prompt
Try this:
runas.exe /savecred /user:administrator "%sysdrive%\testScripts\testscript1.ps1"
It saves the password the first time and never asks again. Maybe when you change the administrator password you will be prompted again.
It looks like psexec -h
is the way to do this:
-h If the target system is Windows Vista or higher, has the process
run with the account's elevated token, if available.
Which... doesn't seem to be listed in the online documentation in Sysinternals - PsExec.
But it works on my machine.
See this TechNet article: Runas command documentation
From a command prompt:
C:\> runas /user:<localmachinename>\administrator cmd
Or, if you're connected to a domain:
C:\> runas /user:<DomainName>\<AdministratorAccountName> cmd
