How do you run a script as administrator (have local admin access)

[Red Squirrel]

I want to run a script on startup on a windows 7 machine but it requires admin rights. The account has local admin access but when you run a script it does not seem to run as admin. You can launch the script manually "as administrator" by right clicking it but I need to automate it.

How do I go about doing that?

Ok figured something out, decided to just run it as a scheduled task with a 30 minute delay and it seems to work fine and run as admin.

Please tell me you had to login as an admin to do that. Effing Winders default allow dangerous shit.

No just as my regular domain user, but that user has local admin access. I presume it would not allow me to run task as admin otherwise... then again, it's windows lol.

So, yes, you were logged in as an admin.

Yeah thanks, I feel better now. My brother and I figured out how to push some tasks like that out using one of the pstools, but that was like a decade ago running as domain admin.

Oh we used to have fun pranking each other with pstools at a previous job... lol. pskill winlogon does really weird things.
