How to open an elevated cmd from a cmd

October 18th, 2009 . Filed under: Tips. Tags:

A geek tip! If you need to open an elevated command prompt USING the default ‘regular’ command prompt, you can do so by using the following command:

cmd admin cmd

runas /netonly /user:ack-pc\ack cmd

Replace ack with your admin user name.

Thanks Ramesh, MVP.

    Even better : Make a file called “sudo.bat” in a path folder containing the following:
    @runas /netonly /user:[computer]\[admin-username] %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

    Replace [computer] with the computer name and [admin-username] with your admin user name. :-)
