Elevation from Command Line?
Posted by admin on Aug 20th, 2006
Hey there, anyone know how to run a command from CMD in elevated mode (or whatever it's called..!)For example, how would I run SFC /SCANNOW with elevated permissions direct from the command line? I can't be bothered with doing all the createashortcutandtickthoseboxes things... ;)

I haven't tried it. But intuitively it seems if you click Start > All Programs, rightclick Command Prompt, and choose Run As Administrator, you should be good to go. I think you'll be a system Admin rather than a member of the Local Admins group."ionixuk"

Create a shortcut to cmd.exe and in the properties pick Always run as administrator. Whenever you run this shortcut it will be elevated. Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP Shell/User vistahelp.ca "ionixuk"

Thanks K yup someone gave me this one earlier.I'm most interested in knowing how to elevate from just one command tho it also seems to me to be the safer option, especially, for example, if you're doing it from a command line batch script, or something..."Kerry Brown" wrote:
