sudo equivalent in windows

[reparto]

Is it possible to elevate priveliges within the command prompt without click start->cmd->start as admin, its a pain to have to then us cd to get to the working directory

I was wondering if there was a sudo equivalent, e.g. I type a command and then it gives a UAC prompt or something

yeup, you can do that with runas:

Code: Select all

runas /user:Administrator <command>

Hmmmm, apparently I don't have an administrator account ???
It doesn't seem to accept administrator as an username, or I don't what the admin password is...
Its strange because my account type is an admin but I can't get admin rights...

hm, seems you explicitly have to specify the domain or computer name too, have a look here:
