need to run a cmd command as administrator within batch file

I am not familiar with this command, but am with batch files. If you are saying it runs without getting prompted when you execute the cmd in administrator mode then it should work within a line of the batch file.

Is it working when you execute it on its own?

Batch Files Knowledge Base

Batch files are exactly that. They are a file that contain a "batch" of commands so that you do not have to type them consecutively at a DOS prompt.

Anything that you can do at a DOS prompt you can do in a BF, and more.

What batch files allow you to do is take arguments when you call the file using the % identifier within the batch file, and also to use conditional statements (if's) to cause code redirection based on user input.

Batch file syntax is really easy to learn, and in a day or two you can write very powerful batch files to do a lot of stuff.

They are not so much useful to the home user as they are to someone who is an administrator of a network.

A simple use of a batch file ...

Let's say that you have a system that has 3 hard drives. C:, D:, E:
You want to copy the contents of C & D to E.

You create a file called MyCopy.cmd (just make a text file in notepad and rename it)
Then type in two lines.
"xcopy C:\ E:\MyCopyOfC /c /e /r /k (etc. xcopy siwtches
"xcopy D:\ E:\MyCopyOfD (switches)

Save the file and run from a DOS prompt.

This will create two directories (if the switches are correct) called MyCopyOfC and MyCopyOfD on the E: partition.

This is a simple backup solution for multiple hard drives.

You can , of course, get as elaborate as you want.
