Cmd Prompt Run As Administrator
Keywords: Cmd Cmd.exe COMSPEC Prompt Run As RunAs Administrator requested operation requires elevation
Question:
I want to run a command from a DOS Prompt in Windows 7 from within WinBatch:RunHideWait( Environment("COMSPEC"), '/c %Commands% >"%CommandRes%"')This works fine for normal commands but some like NETSH reports "The requested operation requires elevation (Run as administrator)."
How do you launch a DOS Prompt with Run as administrator from WinBatch? Thanks
Answer:
Try ShellExecute with "RunAs" verb to launch your application as an Administrator; You must be logged into a admin account for this to work ShellExecute(Environment("COMSPEC"), '/k Echo Test', '', @NORMAL, 'RunAs') Exit
