Problem with command "net user"

Hello,

If I write "net user" into cmd window or into powershell windows it always close it. Not effect, nothing.

Any idea what can be wrong?

 

Can not execute/run FCAT-VR in powershell or CMD

If typing that I did get a message “the server service is not started.”

So I did enable server in the Windows services and now after typing “net session” recieving the message “There are no entries in the list”

 

Using PowerShell via MMC to execute admin level CMD commands

I'm new to PowerShell. I want to do something like this on shutdown before turning off the computer. I plan to have Windows MMC/Local Group Policy Editor do it with a PowerShell script.

Basically, after triggering the shutdown or reboot event it should:

1. Open CMD as admin (and automatically select Yes at UAC?).
   
2. Execute SOME COMMAND (there will be many).
   
3. Close CMD and then allow Windows 10 to shutdown/reboot.
   

Now, I know how to get MMC to add a PowerShell script to execute before the shutdown command is completed. I just need to know the syntax on how to do the above three steps.

To be clear though:

My main point is to be able to open CMD as admin, type in a command and then exit CMD. PowerShell does not normally execute a few particular commands as admin correctly, but CMD does. In that way, PowerShell itself does not need admin privileges, just the temporary run CMD.

I dont' mind clicking YES on a UAC, when needed, because I figure if it comes down to it, I can probably just used sendkeys {TAB}{TAB}{ENTER} or something. What I can't seem to find on the interwebs is how to start a PowerShell script so that one can save it. I'm seeing a lot on sendkeys in syntax though. In bash in Linux, it's simple: #!/bin/bash and presto insta-bash, but Windows seems bass-ackwards in this regard.

If there is a better way to do this than, CMD > Echo "stuff" > exit CMD, please let me know. I know what stuff I want to type in each Echo "stuff" (or rather, sendkeys, if I end up using that), I just don't know how to open CMD as admin.

Thanks.
