以本地管理员身份从另一个 powershell 脚本调用 powershell 脚本

Question

not sure if I'm overcomplicating this, I just want to call another script as local admin and have it run.

The command below opens powershell, and in the new window I get an error and then the window closes too fast for me to be able to see it.

start powershell -verb runas -ArgumentList {Invoke-Expression -Command "C:\Script.ps1"}

Answer 1

If you want to stay native powershell use the start-process cmdlet and you can specify the filepath (process to run) as powershell.exe and the -ArgumentList parameters as conditions for your new session. In my example below i'm setting ExecutionPolicy so you don't have to rely on the system level policy, NoProfile will make your script a bit more resiilent by not loading any customized profile on a system.

$Cred = (Get-Credential)
$ScriptLocation = "C:\Temp\TestScript.ps1"
Start-Process -FilePath "powershell.exe" -ArgumentList "-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $ScriptLocation" -Credential $Cred

You can see in the script getting a credential object (which you'll probably want to provide so the script will just run) then specifying the script location and executing.

As vonPryz mentioned, you can always troubleshoot by adding -NoExit to your Argument list so the window stays open after executing the script but keep in mind if that if the script location doesn't exist you'll still see the powershell host appear and close right away.

You can also add -WindowStyle Hidden to your argument list to hide any window from appearing at all.

Turned out to be an execution policy issue. This was a device that was non-standard in our environment and didn't have that GPO pushed.
