Run Powershell as Admin - doesnt work no way - (Moved)

[svenjatzu]

Hi

 

im trying to build a script that recognises the active network, and then change the ipv4 dns from maually to automatic.

i tryed already with powershell and it works.

now i wanna add the powershell script to my au3 script but on running the script it doesnt run powershell as admin.

 

how can i solve this?

 

this is my powershell script:

Get-Netadapter | ?{$_.Status -in 'Up','Disconnected'} | %{Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceIndex $_.ifIndex -Dhcp Enabled; Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex $_.ifIndex}

 

this is my vba script to run the ps1 as admin:

Set oShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")  
oShell.ShellExecute "powershell", "-executionpolicy bypass -file dns.ps1", "", "runas", 1

 

someone please can help me to make it work with autoit?

 

thanks

Should be easy to convert to Autoit3. Just check out the Objxxx() functions in the helpfile and let us know when you have something that doesn't work.

Well this objxxx() doesnt seem to be what im looking for or im to stupid for it

if you requireadmin for your script, then any other commands you run from the script will also be ran as admin, including powershell commands that invoke .ps1 files

 

(look at post #5 in this thread)

Post your script when you want some help.

For one-liners, this works just fine:

RunAs("<admin account>", "<Domain>", "<Password>", 0, "powershell.exe -command Start-Sleep 10 | Get-NetAdapter | Out-File <filePath", @WindowsDir)

Even when AutoIt does not run as admin.

For full scripts, something like this is what I normally use:

RunAs("admin account", "<Domain>", "<Password>", 0, "powershell.exe -file <path to file>.ps1", @WindowsDir)

#requireadmin in the beginning of your script should solve your problem.
