TFS Build: Run a Powershell script as administrator

Question

I created a build definition for our nightly build server. After building the project (a windows service), I need to execute a Powershell script to install and start the service. So I added a build step to run the specific Powershell script. Then I installed a TFS Build Agent & Visual Studio at the (soon to be) nightly build server. After running the build script I got an 'exit code 5' which seems to be related to missing administratior permissions. If I start the script as admin on the server manually, it works fine. The user, which is used by the agent, already got admin permissions.

Is there a way to execute the powershell script on the build server with a build agent / build definition with admin permissions?

您只需确保您的构建服务帐户（可以是本地帐户，域帐户或工作组中的本地服务）也获得管理员权限。
