I have a batch file that requires administrative privileges to perform most of its task for which it has this bit of code to do that.<\/p>\n
>nul 2>&1 “%SYSTEMROOT%\\system32\\cacls.exe” “%SYSTEMROOT%\\system32\\config\\system”
\nif ‘%errorlevel%’ NEQ ‘0’ (
\necho Requesting administrative privileges…
\ngoto UACPrompt
\n) else ( goto gotAdmin )
\n:UACPrompt
\necho Set UAC = CreateObject^(“Shell.Application”^) > “%temp%\\getadmin.vbs”
\nset params = %*:”=””
\necho UAC.ShellExecute “%~s0”, “%params%”, “”, “runas”, 1 >> “%temp%\\getadmin.vbs”
\n“%temp%\\getadmin.vbs”
\nexit \/B
\n:gotAdmin
\nif exist “%temp%\\getadmin.vbs” ( del “%temp%\\getadmin.vbs” )
\npushd “%CD%”
\nCD \/D “%~dp0”<\/p>\n
The above code is put in the top of out batch file.
\nWhen it runs it request Admin and performs its task.
\nOnly problem is that it opens up another command prompt with out batch in it and closes the one I opened to get it to open the other one.<\/p>\n
What we would like is the batch file to open, ask for admin, then continue to run in the same cmd window. If that is possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":1},"question-category":[55],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-14035","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-programming"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/14035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=14035"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=14035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
