Create a Batch file that runs as administrator then renew the ip address

Question

I have a domain network, and I am working on organizing the IP addresses on this domain using DHCP. Sometimes I need to shut down the server for some maintenance, then turn it on again, so when I do some end users get their IP's wrong, they just need to renew the addresses or press "Diagnose" in the local area connection status.

I don't want to waste my time following up each host to diagnose their ip addresses to get them fixed, so I thought about a way to sum it all up in a double click, but google doesn't seem to be helping me this time. The steps are the following (from the cmd / batch):

1-enable administrative privileges

2-ipconfid /release

3-ipconfig /renew

4-convert the .txt into .bat

I am not sure that there is a step between 1 and 2, if it is mandatory to state the echo on/off. But what I want to be sure of is, when I open the cmd, then I want to enable the administrative rights to open the local area connection status, and then do the rest. As I could see that the code to open a file through admin rights is

runas /profile /user:administrator “HERE THE NAME OF THE FILE TO OPEN”

But there is no need to open a specific file to edit them, so if you could help me find the way just to run as admin through the cmd and the rest is easy.

Answer 1

You can invoke Powershell from batch file to invoke another batch file to run under elevated privilege.

Launcher.bat

PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& { Start-Process "C:\Users\..\AdminProc.bat"  -Verb Runas}"

AdminProc.bat

# Run any task that requires elevated privilege.
Net Stop "Sql Server (SQLEXPRESS)"

In second batch file you can run the ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew with anyother command.
