Windows 10: Trying to run Powershell command in a .BAT file via scheduled tasks results in UAC request.

As above - I'm trying to run a simple Powershell command via a Batch File to capture the programs that are accessing the Internet.

I'm running this via Scheduled Tasks in order to check when a particular program has finished its own task.

This will run all night if necessary at 15 min intervals.


If I run this manually in Powershell (as administrator) it runs fine (obviously without the Powershell Command bits)

but if I run it from a shortcut or Scheduled Tasks I get the output message.


The requested operation requires elevation.

I'm have Run with highest priviledges set in Sch Tsks


The command I'm trying to run is shown below.


Powershell -Command "& {Netstat -b | Out-File 0Active.xxx -Encoding ASCII}"


I 'presume' it's because the Netstat requires elevation - so how the fh do I do it ??.


Thanks in anticipation

:)

 

Scheduled Task Won't Launch Program with .bat File

I just created a powershell script to both start and stop the application. Running both on their own, just like the bat files I created, open and close the program with no issue.

However same as the bats, when I schedule a task to run the powershell script, the same three adobe background processes show up, but the application doesn't open.

 

bat job started by Task Scheduler does not pause

I mentioned this in my last post, also sceptical about a batch "running in PowerShell":

However, you are only half right right: OP mentioned it by himself, although first after it was suggested:

 

bat job started by Task Scheduler does not pause

First, this issue of yours is interesting; I have never seen a batch file (.bat or .cmd) when run as a task to start PowerShell instead of Command Prompt.

That being said, this should take care of that:





Program: cmd, argument: /c MyBatchFile.bat

When saved it looks like this:
