I would like to create a script that will open a cmd prompt as admin and then run my exe, msi, or bat file.

my current scripted cmd is 

msiexec.exe /i c:\temp\Cisco_Agent\CiscoAgentDesktop.msi /qn

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

Take a look here to learn how to use runas with a password automatically.

  • runas.exe cannot elevate if UAC is enabled, which will often be the case nowadays, especially as XP goes the way of the dodo. – Eryk Sun Apr 25 '15 at 22:07

You can always walk around that one:

Create a shortcut to your script. Go to Properties - Shortcut - Advanced- Check Run as Administrator

Every time you open the shortcut you will have your .exe opened with admin privileges.
