How to create a batch file to run cmd as administrator

Question

I need to run a batch file which needs to register a DLL. The DLL registration is failing because the Batch file is not starting the command prompt as \"administrator\".

Answer 1

You might have to use another batch file first to launch the second with admin rights.

In the first use

runas /noprofile /user:mymachine\administrator yourbatchfile.bat

Upon further reading, you must be able to type in the password at the prompt. You cannot pipe the password as this feature was locked down for security reasons.

You may have more luck with psexec.
