# Get the ID and security principal of the current user account $myWindowsID = [System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent(); $myWindowsPrincipal = New-Object System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal($myWindowsID); # Get the security principal for the administrator role $adminRole = [System.Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator; # Check to see if we are currently running as an administrator if ($myWindowsPrincipal.IsInRole($adminRole)) { # We are running as an administrator, so change the title and background colour to indicate this $Host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = $myInvocation.MyCommand.Definition + "(Elevated)"; $Host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor = "DarkBlue"; Clear-Host; } else { # We are not running as an administrator, so relaunch as administrator # Create a new process object that starts PowerShell $newProcess = New-Object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo "PowerShell"; # Specify the current script path and name as a parameter with added scope and support for scripts with spaces in it's path $newProcess.Arguments = "& '" + $script:MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path + "'" # Indicate that the process should be elevated $newProcess.Verb = "runas"; # Start the new process [System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start($newProcess); # Exit from the current, unelevated, process Exit; } # Run your code that needs to be elevated here...
