Powershell script that requires administrative privileges.

Some time ago I wrote “Batch file that requires administrative privileges“

For Powershell it can be done easier

#from http://serverfault.com/a/12306/107224 

function Run-Elevated ($scriptblock )

{

  # TODO: make -NoExit a parameter

  # TODO: just open PS (no -Command parameter) if $scriptblock -eq ”

  $sh = new-object -com ‘Shell.Application’

  $sh. ShellExecute(‘powershell’, “-NoExit -Command $scriptblock “, ”, ‘runas’)

}

# from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3963100/how-do-you-do-a-pause-with-powershell-2-0

Run-Elevated  “cd  $PSScriptRoot; ActualScript.ps1  ; Read-Host -Prompt `”Press_Enter_to_continue`”  ”
