WMI Object not working with #RequireAdmin

[lrstndm 1]

Hi all,

I have a problem with a script when I run it as admin. I am trying to get all the mapped drives from the local pc. This is the script I am using

;~ #RequireAdmin ; This switch is going wrong

#include <Array.au3>

If isAdmin() then
    MsgBox(0,"ADMIN","ADMIN")
Else
    MsgBox(0,"NOT ADMIN","NOT ADMIN")
EndIf

$x = getMappedDrives()
_ArrayDisplay($x)

Func getMappedDrives()
    Dim $aDrives[0][2]
    $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & @LogonDomain & "\root\CIMV2")
    $sQuery = "Select * From Win32_LogicalDisk Where DriveType = 4"
    $colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery($sQuery, "WQL", 48)

    If IsObj($colItems) Then
        For $objItem In $colItems
            ReDim $aDrives[UBound($aDrives) + 1][2]
            $aDrives[UBound($aDrives) - 1][0] = $objItem.DeviceID
            $aDrives[UBound($aDrives) - 1][1] = $objItem.ProviderName
        Next
        Return $aDrives
    Else
        SetError(-1, -1, -1)
    EndIf
EndFunc

When I run it without the '#RequireAdmin' switch it works fine. When I turn on the '#RequireAdmin' switch is gives me an empty array.

This code is part of a bigger project and my project always runs as admin. I dont know why it is doing this, because I am not using #RequireAdmin in the project.

Is there an other better way to get the mapped drives that works for me? Or am I doing something wrong?

I hope someone can help me.

Regards,

When using #RequireAdmin a new process with elevated permissions and a new environment is being started. This process does not inherit mapped drives from the starting process.
Search the forum. There has been some discussion on this subject lately.

But then why is my project running as administrator when I don't want that? Could you explain that?

Do you have some links about these discussions?

You are sure you removed or commented the "#Requiredmin" line? And then compiled the script again?

[lrstndm 1]

Yes I am sure. But the project I am compiling is much bigger. I read something about some features (from windows) that will ask the program for administrator permissions if you use them. Is that possible? How can I overrule it then?

You could insert

MsgBox(0, "", "The current user has administrator privileges: " & IsAdmin())

to make sure about the used privileges.
