Question: How do I run a batch file from another batch file with administrator rights?

I have tried the [RUNAS](http://ss64.com/nt/runas.html) command, but it requires the administrator password.

I am searching for an alternative for running a batch file by right clicking on it and running as an administrator. I want to automate it from another batch file.

Answer: 
Put each line in cmd or all of theme in the batch file:

```
@echo off

if not "%1"=="am_admin" (powershell start -verb runas '%0' am_admin & exit /b)

"Put your command here"

```

it works fine for me.
Runas.exe won't work here. You can use VBScript to invoke the "Run as Administrator" shell verb. The Elevation Powertoys contain a batchfile that allows you to invoke an elevated command:

`elevate`*`cmd.exe`*
