PowerShell - Run Script Block as Administrator

[TomVanLooveren82325363]

How can I start a 'PowerShell - Run Script Block' as 'Administrator'?

I need to start this script block as 'Administrator' as SharePoint 2010 requires this to launch actions towards SharePoint. More specific to load the "Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell"   --> 'Add-PSSnapIn "Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell". 

 

Best regards and thanks for your help,

Hi Tom, have you tried to use the "runas" in the action to impersonate as the administrator?

Alternatively have a look at:

Set Privileges for Using PowerShell to Manage SharePoint 

and

Hello Didier,

Thanks for your reply and happy new year :-)

Yes I tried "runas" and tested your proposition, same issues:

 

"Add-SPShellAdmin : The term 'Add-SPShellAdmin' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program."

 

 

The action pack for SharePoint works fine. If we could know how this actions works, action to run "SharePoint PowerShell" as "Administrator" could be build with the SDK. Right?

Did someone do this already....

Hi Tom

 

Did you test if you can run the  , Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell command in a powershell

on the agent running this powershell action ?

Does this work ?

 

If you keep having problem i would suggest to raise a support case and provide the agent log files

so we can investigate this .

Hello Dirk,

 

Better late than never.... ;-)

 

The proposed answer did not work.

We configured the server so that when a PowerShell script is launched that it runs standard always as 'administrator'. This solution did the 'thing'.

Hi Tom,

 

It looks like you tried to use the Run As feature. If it wasn't working that way then I wonder if it might have been related to a problem using that feature on Windows. I've only come across one or two issues in the past with this feature on Windows. Details can be found here: "Verify the user running Nolio agent has privileges to impersonate other users" error
