Hi Team,

Just a quick one, does #RequireAdmin also give elevated privileges  to the command line when using Run or RunWait, As I need to disable windows internal firewall in batch at it is causing problems with our work VPNs

yes. any child process inherits its security context from its parent, so if parent is elevated, so is child. you can also check it yourself.

I am not at the place to test right now, but thank you for your answer

there may be an easier way, if you have domain admin or equivalent account that allows you to manage workstations over the network, use this:

psexec ComputerHostname netsh firewall set opmode disable

b.t.w if you are not familiar with psexec, now is a good time.
