I need my users to be able to run a program as an admin but dont want to get them the admin details. We work in a remote desktop environment (Azure VDI) and when they run a particular program as themselves, it crashes. However, it they run the program with Admin credentials, even when they log on as a user, the program works. I want to run the program with admin credentials but without it prompting for them.

I created a ps1 file to open it and when I run it from Powershell run as administrator, it works with no prompts. How do I get the ps1 file to run in admin mode without having to enter the username and password?

  • I would find out why it crashes. Does cmdlet have exception handlers (try/catch)? Most likely you are getting an exception and need to find out the cause. Commented Jul 30, 2024 at 12:14
  • What is the actual failure? The term crash could mean many things. Is this just a permission denied failure? Commented Jul 30, 2024 at 13:29
  • It crashes as it cant write to the programs temp folder, 'C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Filestream Ltd\Filestream 5', even though I have changed permissions on that folder to allow Everyone access. Commented Jul 30, 2024 at 13:31
