water 2,387 Posted May 28, 2011 It doesn't work the way you want it to work. According to the help file #RequireAdmin " ... launches a new process ..." which means that the whole script runs with administrator rights. So I would suggest to pack the functionality you need to be run with elevated permissions into a separate script using #RequireAdmin and call it from the script running with "normal" rights.

Juvigy 49 Posted May 30, 2011 If not IsAdmin() Then RunAs($user, $domain, $pass,0,@ScriptName,@ScriptDir) This should be what you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jvanegmond 306 Posted May 30, 2011 Have a look at this topic: I think this does the magic: ShellExecute(@ScriptName, "", "", "runas") Basically you have to restart your script with admin privileges. No other way. github.com/jvanegmond Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
