Run PowerShell Script As An Administrator

Hi. So I've been searching online on a way to do this yet I cannot find a way to do it.

_______________________________________

I need this in specific:

I want to double click a PowerShell script file (which will run as an administrator) from Windows Explorer that has this as the script:
Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring $true

(that script requires that PowerShell needs to be run as an administrator)
_______________________________________

So those are the restrictions:
No right-click>run PowerShell as an administrator
No opening a shortcut to PowerShell (as an administrator) and pasting the command


Thanks

 

Export All Administrative Events to Excel

To analyze events, from the Windows Event Viewer, there is a simple way to export all Administrative Events to Excel, with PowerShell.

Exporting all Administrative Events to Excel is a simple two Step process, as described here:

Step 1 - Create the Administrative Events View .xml file

1. Open Eventviewer (%windir%\system32\eventvwr.msc)
2. Navigate to: Event Viewer (Local) > Custom Views > Administrative Events
3. In the “Actions” pane select “Filter Current Custom View”.
4. Select the the XML tab.
5. Press Ctrl+A to select all the XML code of the Custom View.
6. Open a notepad, paste the selected code and save the file to your Desktop as AdmEvtView.xml

Step 2 - Create the csv file with the events

1. Download the ExportEvtCSV.zip file, which contains the script ExportEvtCSV.ps1 and unzip it, on your Desktop.
   It's not a fancy script, just basic PowerShell commands to create a csv file on the Desktop.
2. In Windows Search, type “ISE” (without the quotes) to open “Windows PowerShell ISE” and Run as administrator
   
3. To allow running the script, change the ExecutionPolicy, for this session. To do that, in the Console pane type:
   Code:
4. In the Windows PowerShell ISE, open and run the script: ExportEvtCSV.ps1
   The script will create a csv file with a name YYYYMMDD.HHMM.csv on the Desktop
5. When done, open the newly created .csv file, format the columns as needed and optionally save it as .xlsx, if you wish.

That’s it! You now have all the Administrative Events in Excel for filtering and further analysis.

Now to the more technical hard stuff... *Confused

There is a reason for running the script from within PowerShell ISE!

It would be great if everything was also working perfectly, when running the script from an elevated PowerShell too.

We can run it from an elevated PowerShell, which means that you just follow the Step 1, as above but for the Step 2 instead of the ISE you run the script from an elevated PowerShell.

The problem is that it will work only for anybody who has en-US format for the dates. Everyone else, who has another format (i.e. en-GB, fr-FR, el-GR etc.), the dates are not translated properly by Excel (although the script uses the –UseCulture switch) and remain as text in the en-US format.

I'm not sure if this a bug of the "export-csv" cmdlet, but although it runs the way it supposed to from within the ISE, from PowerShell there is a problem with the dates format.
As I haven’t found a way to overcome this obstacle, any suggestion from the PowerShell gurus of the forum (like my good friend Shawn @Brink, for instance), is welcome.

 

Can't run Powershell or cmd.exe as administrator

I've tried different ways to open PowerShell and cmd.exe. When I search in the toolbar and left click on either, they'll open. If I right click on either and click "Run as administrator", nothing happens. I've also tried opening them in the Quick Access
Menu but can't. I noticed something weird with the Quick Access Menu. I can't open everything that's in the box. I can't open the following:

Event Viewer

Device Manager

Disk Management

Computer Management

PowerShell

PowerShell (Admin)

Task Manager

File Explorer

When I click on any of the above, the box closes, but nothing happens (the other items listed in the box open normally). If I do a search for the above items, I'll find them, click on them, they open. PowerShell will open, but won't open if I right click
it and try to open it as administrator.

I went into UAC and moved the slider down, nothing changed, still couldn't open PowerShell or cmd.

I haven't tried creating a new user account yet.
