Hi Shimith,

Did you login Windows with a administrator account?

Did you join a domain?

Normally, it is not recommended to disable UAC through Registry and Group Policy. We could reduce UAC functionality through moving the notification bar to Never notify in UAC setting.

If you require a measure to run batch file as administrator, we could create a shortcut by right click the bat file.

Then right click the shot cut\Properties\Shortcut\Advanced\tick “run as administrator”.

After execute this bat file, don't forget to restart your computer. 

Best regards,

Joy.

I agree that it works when I run the command as administrator.

But here, I want the same command to be executed remotely , so how will the command run as administrator remotely ?

Hi Shimith,

According to your description, it seems like you prefer an unattend bat file.

However, when we use command runas /profile /user:username “file path”  to execute certain bat file, a promote window will pop-up to require administrator password, but we could not avoid password input. There is no measure to create an unattend bat file.

Did you join domain or workgroup?
If yes, I would recommend you to disable UAC with Group Policy.

UAC level 4:
