I am trying to execute a file via the CMD with Administrative privileges.

How can I open a cmd via command line with Administrative privileges.

I have to execute a script within a script. 

 powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -noprofile -command "&{ start-process powershell -ArgumentList '-noprofile -File C:\scripts\install_ims.ps1' -verb RunAs}"

I have tried this in a bat file, but it doesn't work when executed within the script.

  • Why is it that you need to invoke PowerShell twice? – lit Nov 06 '18 at 15:24

This should work fine for your purposes.

powershell -Command "Start-Process <filename> -Verb RunAs"

This is copy-pasted from some Batch files that I finally added to GitHub in the last few days if you have questions, that's probably the best place to go. https://github.com/Benny121221/Batch-BS
