Start ELEVATED script from within script
- by Ulrich
Hallo,
I'm playing around with Powershell (relative NewBie) and I'm looking for the easiest way to call a Powershell script with elevated rights from within another script.
I know of the runas verb for start-process which allows me to start a new script with a different account. My problem is, however, that under Vista (UAC active) every admin account has two access tokens, a normal privilege one and an elevated one.
If I use the runas method, the second scripts gets started under the right account but with the non-elevated access token. Is there an easy way to control this?
Thanks a lot for your help!
