Hi,

Here's a dirty version of a powershell variant of Aaron Margosis
MakeMeAdmin.cmd
(http://blogs.msdn.com/aaron_margosis...4/193721.aspx).

It uses get-credential and Process.Start instead of runas.



All suggestions for improvements are welcome.

Regards,

/Staffan

Can you repost with a .txt addition on the end of that extension? It appears
to be automatically blocked by OE, and I'm not quite up to base64decoding
the message source this morning.

You could also have temporarily turned blocking off (tools > options >

Yeah, but I'm lazy.
