Using a PowerShell script to run as a different user & elevate the process.

  • [アーティクル]

There are times when I want to elevate a PowerShell process on one of our lab Windows 7 clients & run a script as a user account with administrator privileges.

Usually I’m working on a lab machine running as a non-administrative test user. Since you cannot easily elevate and run as a different user from the right-click context menu, I wrote a simple script that I thought I’d share.

Note: One thing to call out is that our lab machines have their Execution Policy set for Unrestricted.

The script:

Start-Process powershell.exe -Credential "TestDomain\Me" -NoNewWindow -ArgumentList "Start-Process powershell.exe -Verb runAs"

The following section starts the PowerShell command-line process with Start-Process prompting for user credentials. You may not need this dependent on UAC settings, as you might already get an over-the-shoulder prompt for creds during elevation.  

Start-Process powershell.exe -Credential "TestDomain\Me"

The -NoNewWindowparameter re-uses the same PowerShell command window.

Here I’m using -ArgumentList parameter to pass in the second Start-Process leveraging –Verb runAs to force the elevation prompt.

I just saved this PowerShell script to a scratch share on the lab machines, and when I need to elevate and run PowerShell as a different user. I’d just double click on the script. It’s not the most elegant code, but it gets the job done and ideally shows some fairly cool optional parameters of Start-Process.

    How do I run the commands without the "-Credential" option with admin privileges. Such as get-eventlog or get-childitem

    Hi B_Shy, I tried to run another powershell with different credential "mydomainusername". A new window always pop up. Could you help? Start-Process powershell -Credential "resourcepro0mzheng" -NoNewWindow

    By removing -Credential, Start-Process will not pop a new window.

    I have the same issue as Michael, a new windows pops up.  Removing -Credential, defeats the purpose of this post. $creds = Get-Credential start-process powershell.exe -Credential $creds -NoNewWindow -ArgumentList "Start-Process powershell.exe -verb runas"

    To prevent the popup you need to build a credential object and pass it in when you launch the process: $credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential(".administrator", (ConvertTo-SecureString "P@ssw0rd" -AsPlainText -Force))

    how would I script it if I wanted to run it as an admin (whether it be a local or a domain) without any prompt or window from showing? I have a silent uninstall & installs script I need to push out and I need it to run as admin, thank you.

    I got this error Start-Process : This command cannot be run due to the error: Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed.

    Played with this a bit to get it to do exactly what I want and came up with the following:

    Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms

    $OpenFileDialog = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
    $OpenFileDialog.Title = "Run Powershell Script"
    $OpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = $([Environment]::GetFolderPath("Desktop"))
    $OpenFileDialog.Filter = "Windows PowerShell Scripts (*.ps1)| *.ps1"
    $OpenFileDialog.ShowHelp = $True

    [void] $OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()
    Start-Process powershell.exe -Credential $(Get-Credential) -NoNewWindow -ArgumentList "Start-Process powershell.exe -Verb runAs $($OpenFileDialog.Filename)"

    This presents the user with a popup "select file" window that defaults to their desktop folder and filters for *.ps1 files, then presents the user with a popup credentials window, and finally executes the specified script using the supplied credentials.
