BATCH file - CMD help

Lisapete · 7 Feb 2014 at 09:05

It's Friday and having total brain fart.

I need to apply this fix to allow a write filter to be enabled on some Windows 7E systems.

I open CMD via right click and run as Admin, the txt I enter in CMD is

Code:

ewfcfg /install-configuration

The system then says requesting reboot of which I reboot. I then re do CMD run as admin via right and to check it's worked

Code:

ewfmgr c:

How do I make a file/batch to run the below as admin?

Code:

ewfcfg /install-configuration

It'll save me typing it and remembering it as a lot of this will be out in the wide world.

Thanks

A batch file always runs with the rights of the user that executes it.

(1) You can use RunAs on the batch file supplying the credentials: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490994.aspx

(2) You can package it up into an executable with admin credentials using this application: http://www.robotronic.de/runasroben.html

Use Powershell instead. It's worth the time to learn - PowerGUI will help a lot and it also compiles Powershell scripts as .exe files
