How to run commands on a secondary window from script

Question

I'm taking the first steps on the PowerShell learning and for that reason my apologizes if what I'm going to ask is pretty basic.

I'm trying to run some commands on a remote computer with elevated privileges; for that I have a script_1 that inside as an onliner that calls a script_2 with the credentials (I admit that this may not be the best way to do it, but for commodity purposes for now I will this way).

But if I try to put any command in script_1, those do not run on the window with elevated privileges. I have no clue if doing this is possible and if possible how can that be done. I have searched here and on google but haven't found anything similar.

I really would appreciate some advice on how to manage this.

Answer 1

I'm trying to run some commands on a remote computer with elevated privileges;

You do that with Invoke-Command. This example shows how to test if the account you are using has Administrator access.

$sb = {
    $admin = ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal] [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole] "Administrator")
    "Running on {0}" -f $env:COMPUTERNAME
    "Your name is {0}" -f  $env:USERNAME 
    "Admin level is {0}" -f  $admin
}

$User = ".\admin"
$PWord = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "admin" -AsPlainText -Force
$Credential = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $User, $PWord

Invoke-Command -ComputerName test10 -ScriptBlock $sb -Credential $Credential

Hi

Thank you for your reply.

I manage to open a powershell window with privileges after running the script, it happens that if I run any command it runs on the window without privileges
