Yes, it can! In such a case, if the batch file is executed by the administrator, then Elevate. If run by a restricted user, Elevate. The return code of the elevate command depends on the result of its execution and whether you have specified the -wait4exit option or not.
If the -wait4exit option is NOT specified, then elevate returns code 0 if it started the target process successfully, or an error code as reported by Windows. For example, if Windows could not find the target file, it usually returns code 2. If the file was found, but the administrator did not approve the request to start the program elevated, the return code is 5. And so on. However, if you have specified the -wait4exit option on the command line, then if the target process was started successfully, the elevate command would wait for it to finish and return the exit code from that process.
The returned value in such a case depends on the program being launched be the elevate command. NOTE: There is a known Windows problem: you cannot start a batch file elevated while passing arguments with quotes to it. A possible workaround is not to use elevate. This is best done at the top of our parent script and it is best that first, which will be called via the CALL further, some sub-scripts see detailed explanation below.
This can be inserted inside any child scripts, called by CALL syntax. To display a message while it is still does not have Administrator privileges, eg. It uses the random number from 1 to The transition to Administrator rights always requires that you run the script completely again, in a new window, in a new environment, without recourse to the the variables are set previously in our script and values of these variables did not pass then to call as Administrator.
Just the script will be executed again. Alternatively you could create a second batch file, this could allow you to run anything as an administrator, while only entering the administrator password once. The password is saved in an authentication token, and takes some real computer know how to crack.
You can use a command line utility elevate. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

To elevate the batch file to run as admin, follow the steps below: Right-click the shortcut you just created should be on the desktop or where ever you send it Under the Shortcut tab, click the Advanced Check the Run as administrator checkbox and press OK to both the modal window and the main properties window. Run the shortcut by double-clicking it and the batch file should run as administrator.
Improve this answer. You could always force the batch file to call the shortcut, and have the shortcut pass a parameter to know not to call the short cut. Ifedi writes "The accepted answer[this one from Tech] does indeed work. For me the shortcut doesn't run in the current directory when double clicked, though the. Even with the "Start in:" property on the shortcut filled out. So make sure your. Does this work for non-admin users?
Before calling the IT department to do all this and find out it wouldn't work, I'd better ask. ShellExecute "cmd. Community Bot 1. Yes i found this and am using it currnetly. I haven't tried it recently so I may be wrong, or I may have done it incorrectly when I did.
That will allow the user to run arbitrary commands with administrative privileges, so you could just as well make him a member of the local administrators group. AnsgarWiechers - in his own words, I am searching for an alternative for running a batch file by right clicking on it and running as an administrator. Another thing is that this cannot be used without administrator password. True, but irrelevant. If you remove the password-prompt you effectively remove the barrier between admin and normal user.
A better approach might be creating a scheduled task. In Linux, if he has root password, he can modify the sudoers file to remove any restriction on sudo. AFAIK, runas. If you're trying to invoke a Windows UAC prompt the one that puts the whole screen black and asks if you're granting administrator privileges to the following task , RUNAS is not the smoothest way to do it, since: You're not going to get prompted for UAC authorization, even if logged in as the administrator and RUNAS expects that you have the administrator password, even if your user is setup as a local administrator, in which case the former password is not a sound security practice, specially in work environments.
ShellExecute "cmd. Sorry for the angry dude who down voted my answer. He clearly did not tried it, and to be fair I did answered the question that started this thread. This kind of ignorant negativity discourage contributors from wasting their time on people that do not try answers before voting down without evidence. I think your problem was that you wrote so much code when there were much shorter and simpler solutions already posted.
The Elevation Powertoys contain a batchfile that allows you to invoke an elevated command: elevate cmd. That will provoke the elevation prompt, but not bypass it. Sushant Baweja Sushant Baweja 2 2 silver badges 14 14 bronze badges. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.
