Hello i've been looking for a batch file that is able to edit my hosts file in windows 10 but apparently none is working. I've been trying to use these two codes combined found in this forum.
REM --add the following to the top of your bat file--
#echo off
:: BatchGotAdmin
:-------------------------------------
REM --> Check for permissions
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"
REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
echo Requesting administrative privileges...
goto UACPrompt
) else ( goto gotAdmin )
:UACPrompt
echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
set params = %*:"=""
echo UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/c %~s0 %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
"%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
exit /B
:gotAdmin
pushd "%CD%"
CD /D "%~dp0"
SET NEWLINE=^& echo.
FIND /C /I "ns1.intranet.de" %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ECHO %NEWLINE%^62.116.159.4 ns1.intranet.de>>%WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
FIND /C /I "ns2.intranet.de" %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ECHO %NEWLINE%^217.160.113.37 ns2.intranet.de>>%WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
FIND /C /I "ns3.intranet.de" %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ECHO %NEWLINE%^89.146.248.4 ns3.intranet.de>>%WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
FIND /C /I "ns4.intranet.de" %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ECHO %NEWLINE%^74.208.254.4 ns4.intranet.de>>%WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
What i get when i try to run is that windows defender blocked the file because of the security reasons. How to make it work?
It's painful to change hosts file manually two days a week in normal way.
Download the hostsfileeditor it makes it a snap to change.

I've tried so many times, but I can't find the cause.
Command code for obtaining administrative privileges that you are using first.
#echo off
:: BatchGotAdmin
:-------------------------------------
REM --> Check for permissions
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"
REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.
bcdedit >>nul
if %errorlevel% == 1 goto noadmin
goto gotAdmin
exit
:noadmin
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
echo Requesting Admin Permissions ...
goto UACPrompt
) else ( goto gotAdmin )
exit
:UACPrompt
echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
set params = %*:"=""
echo UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/c %~s0 %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
"%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
exit /B
:gotAdmin
pushd "%CD%"
CD /D "%~dp0"
:-------------------------------------
I modified it from this code, so it's as follows.
#echo off
Set curdir="%cd%"
echo %curdir%
pause
:-------------------------------------
REM --> Check for permissions
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"
REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.
bcdedit >>nul
if %errorlevel% == 1 goto noadmin
goto gotAdmin
:noadmin
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
echo Requesting Admin Permissions ...
goto UACPrompt
) else ( goto gotAdmin )
:UACPrompt
echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
set params = %*:"=""
echo UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/c %~s0 %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
"%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
exit /B
:gotAdmin
pushd "%CD%"
CD /D "%~dp0"
:-------------------------------------
pause
The result is...
Print out the current directory and pause
After entering any key, check the administrative authority and perform the action of obtaining it.
Print out the current directory and pause
Confirm administrative authority and move on.
Pause
End
I want to the expected move is...
Print out the current directory and pause
After entering any key, check the administrative authority and perform the action of obtaining it.
Pause
End
What I want is an expected action. How do I modify it to follow this behavior?
Since a few weeks, my scripts for modifying my IP address don't work anymore. I suspect an update of Windows 10.
Up to now, I was using the script given in this thread :
#echo on

REM --> Check for permissions
IF "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" EQU "amd64" (

)

if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (

goto UACPrompt

del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
exit /B
:gotAdmin
pushd "%CD%"
CD /D "%~dp0"
:--------------------------------------
<YOUR BATCH SCRIPT HERE>
But now, I got this error:
Failed to load script: C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\getadmin.vbs: access denied
The strange thing is, getadmin.vbs is indeed created in the Temp directory.
Here is the exact output :

You can use the following sequence that works perfectly fine for me.
#echo off

:checkPrivileges
NET FILE 1>NUL 2>NUL
if '%errorlevel%' == '0' (goto gotPrivileges) else (goto getPrivileges)

echo args = args ^& " " ^& strArg >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
echo Next >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
echo UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", ^("/c start /D """ ^& d ^& """ /B" ^& args ^& " ^& exit"^), , "runas", 4 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"

exit /b

:: Your code here
This VBS script uses perfectly the UAC.ShellExecute, you can point by yourself the changes. You used a lot of tricks and the VBS code doesn't even call UAC in the correct way, which is why it gives permission denied. I believe that the use of cacls and this script was very useful in the past, used by Malware to obtain administrative access without the user's permission, there are many programs that use icacls for this, I will not even point out, but that may have made using icacls difficult.
You can also use Powershell previously to do it.
Powershell -Command "Start-Process cmd -Verb RunAs -ArgumentList '/c C:\YourPath\yourprogram.bat'"
Both of the scripts works perfectly fine for me. I can see a lot of errors in your .vbs, but there is no point in pointing them out because the script is not yours.
I recommend that you use the Powershell, it is much more useful and simple, to integrate:
NET FILE >NUL 1>NUL 2>NUL
if %errorlevel% equ 0 (goto gotprivileges) else (start Powershell -Command "Start-Process cmd -Verb RunAs -ArgumentList '/c C:\YourPath\yourprogram.bat'" & exit)
Hope this helps,

I am trying to send a variable from one batch file to another after elevating privileges. Test2.bat doesn't echo test123, it just echos that ECHO is on.
test1.bat
set "test=test123"
call "%cd%\test2.bat"
pause

echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
"%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
exit /B
:gotAdmin
if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ( del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" )
pushd "%CD%"
CD /D "%~dp0"

echo %test%
pause
You are setting a variable, then you are elevating and creating a new process and you expect the variable to exist. instead call test2.bat from test1.bat but let it set the variable after it got the privileges, but returning to call test1.bat..
#echo off
set "test=test123"
if not "%~1" == "haveAdmin" call "%~dp0\test2.bat"
then test2.bat some minor changes, see if you can spot them:
#echo off

call test1.bat haveAdmin
:--------------------------------------
echo %test%

Your code fails because the VBScript is creating a new separate process when prompting UAC.
If you only want to pass one single variable with very simple content (without embedded ', ", CRLF...), the easiest way is to pass as it as a parameter.
test-call.bat
#echo off
set "test=test_123!" only works for simple content
call "%__CD__%admin.bat" %test%
admin.bat
#echo off
if "%~1" == "" exit /b 1
("%__APPDIR__%net.exe" session||(
"%__APPDIR__%WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -NonInteractive -Command "Start-Process -FilePath '%~f0' -ArgumentList '%~1' -Verb Runas"
exit /b
))>nul 2>&1
set "var=%~1"
====SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
echo(!var!
pause
If your code involves parsing multiple (all) variables or tricky content, the best way is to let Start-Process return to the caller itself.
How about passing the batch file as parameter?
Test1.bat
set "test=test123"
"%cd%\test2.bat" "%test%"
pause
Test2.bat
#echo off
set "test=%~1"

I wrote this batch file to zip files each day separately.
However, I wanted to do it for folders.
the problem is that for each day I have a different name for the folder. like:
20170530.daily
20170529.daily
and on...
I've attached the batch I already wrote, can you look into this?

first post of mine on this website, used to lurk but I've recently had a bit of a pickle with a batch-file
I've been working as a small little simple auto connect batch-command which auto-connects my laptop to my schools shared network server but for some odd reason I am unable to connect as the command prompt prints "System Error 53 has occurred The network path was not found."
If anyone could shed some light as to what I'm doing wrong would be much appreciated.
