batch file for copying files with admin rights - batch-file

im new to batch files and im trying to write a file which gets admin rights and copies a file.
This is the code I found for getting admin rights, but it seems that it is not working for Windows 8;
#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"
:--------------------------------------
<my code>
Then i´ve tried to write code for copying the files which didnt work neither:
xcopy "%1" "%2"
xcopy "%3" "%4"
echo "succesfull"

Try getting rid of "%temp%" throughout the script, I tried the same code under windows 8, but I keep getting access denied errors until I edit every line that accesses the systems temp folder.

Running a Batch with Admin Rights, but with pre saved User&Pass in the Batch to avoid windows asking for the Cridentials

I am already using the following Batch to open my Jar file with Admin Right:
#echo off
:: BatchGotAdmin (Run as Admin code starts)
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"
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"
:: BatchGotAdmin (Run as Admin code ends)
:: Your codes should start from the following line
-cp Jarfile.jar com.testApp
however after clicking on the Batch file, the windows will ask me to insert the Username and password.
The Question is , is there any way to give the user and pass inside the Batch file to open the Jar file but without windows asking for user and pass?

How to ask for admin permission in a batch?

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
:: BatchGotAdmin
:-------------------------------------
REM --> Check for permissions
IF "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" EQU "amd64" (
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\config\system"
) ELSE (
>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"
:--------------------------------------
<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 :
C:\Users\arc\Desktop\ConfigLAN>REM --> Check for permissions
C:\Users\arc\Desktop\ConfigLAN>IF "AMD64" EQU "amd64" ("C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\cacls.exe" "C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\config\system" 1>nul 2>&1 ) ELSE ("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cacls.exe" "C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\system" 1>nul 2>&1 )
C:\Users\arc\Desktop\ConfigLAN>REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.
C:\Users\arc\Desktop\ConfigLAN>if '5' NEQ '0' ( echo Requesting administrative privileges... goto UACPrompt ) else (goto gotAdmin ) Requesting administrative privileges...
C:\Users\arc\Desktop\ConfigLAN>echo Set UAC = CreateObject("Shell.Application") 1>"C:\Users\arc\AppData\Local\Temp\getadmin.vbs"
C:\Users\arc\Desktop\ConfigLAN>set params=
C:\Users\arc\Desktop\ConfigLAN>echo UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/c ""C:\Users\arc\Desktop\CONFIG~1\newBatch.bat"" ", "", "runas", 1 1>>"C:\Users\arc\AppData\Local\Temp\getadmin.vbs"
C:\Users\arc\Desktop\ConfigLAN>"C:\Users\arc\AppData\Local\Temp\getadmin.vbs"
(error is triggered here)
C:\Users\arc\Desktop\ConfigLAN>del "C:\Users\arc\AppData\Local\Temp\getadmin.vbs"
C:\Users\arc\Desktop\ConfigLAN>exit /B
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)
:getPrivileges
echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
echo For Each strArg in WScript.Arguments >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
echo If strArg = WScript.Arguments.Item^(0^) Then d = Left^(strArg, InStrRev^(strArg,"\"^) - 1^) >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
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"
cscript "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ""%~s0"" %*
del /q "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
exit /b
:gotPrivileges
:: 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,

Edit a registry entry & open the registry with a batch file

I am using a batch file to update the registry & would like to open the registry at HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\RasMan\PPP\EAP\13 to confirm the reg update was successful. The reg update executes but I can't get the registry to open at the specific path.
The registry path can open before or after the update.
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"
:--------------------------------------
echo off
start regedit
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\RasMan\PPP\EAP\13 /v TlsVersion /t REG_DWORD /d 0x000000c0
start regedit
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\RasMan\PPP\EAP\13
end
If it is only about checking if the modification was sucessful, you could also read the value and print it on the screen:
REG EXPORT HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\RasMan\PPP\EAP\13 someFile.reg
TYPE someFile.reg

How to run a Command Prompt run as a Administrator using batch file
