Automatically running a batch file as an administrator

Question

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

I have tried the RUNAS 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 1

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.
