The easiest way I have found without changing UAC settings was to create a small batch file that I right click on an select "Run as administrator". This is the contents of my batch file: @echo off set ScriptDirectory=%~dp0 PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "&'%ScriptDirectory%\script name.ps1' -Verbose"
Another option would be to add your script as a function in a PowerShell profile. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb613488(v=vs.85).aspx I would love to know if someone has a better method. - Stephen From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Rankin Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2016 12:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] More PowerShell help How can I get a PowerShell script to run with administrative privileges? I have a configuration script I want to run on my Windows 10 machines, obviously it is going to be run by an admin user, but I want to just double-click the script and it runs with admin privileges. At the minute I have to launch PowerShell as an admin and then run the script directly - what's the best way to be able to do this with a simple double-click action?
