Can anyone help me with running vbs from itself but with administrator rights? I need rename computer with Windows 8 via VBScript, but it's possible only if I run my script through administrator command line (CMD → Run as Administrator → runScript.vbs). If I start script with classic CMD the computer isn't renamed.
My idea is I start script with user rights, without parameters and if there is no parameter, the script re-runs itself with admin rights and with parameter as identificator "I'm admin".
Does anyone know how I can do this?
Edit:
I tried this:
If WScript.Arguments.Count = 0 Then
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.ShellExecute "wscript.exe", "c:\Users\admin\Documents\selfConfigure.vbs -1", "", runas", 1
End If
If UAC is enabled on the computer, something like this should work:
If Not WScript.Arguments.Named.Exists("elevate") Then
CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute WScript.FullName _
, """" & WScript.ScriptFullName & """ /elevate", "", "runas", 1
WScript.Quit
End If
