How to run batch file as an elevated user?

Question

I have a batch file that creates another user using this code:

net user /add TheAccount passWORD
net localgroup administrators TheAccount /add

And I did this so that my program would later run commands elevated without the UAC popping up, because it could use its own account...

But I hit a roadblock when I noticed that RunAs doesn't allow elevation.

I really need to be able to run a program elevated without any third-party tools that I would have to include.

Thanks in advance.

Does this answer your question? [How can I auto-elevate my batch file, so that it requests from UAC administrator rights if required?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7044985/how-can-i-auto-elevate-my-batch-file-so-that-it-requests-from-uac-administrator) — Aconcagua, Jan 10 '23 at 09:52

Thanks for all the help, but I found an answer with Microsoft Psexec.exe with the -h option or the
-s option.
