Need help running a batch file as admin
I am trying to run a batch file as local system that uninstall previous Revu versions. I ran it both as a batch file and and also tried uploading it as a dependency. Tried to run it as System, Logged in user, with admin credentials. The batch file gets copied to the system but fails to run.. But if I go to the file and run it as an admin, it runs.
What am I missing or how can I run it as admin?

Are you using variables that expand that path in the batch file? When running as SYSTEM, not all varibles are available to the batch environment. Test it with a hard path.
Also, test the batch with psexec. This allows you to test as SYSTEM.
the command is psexec -s -i cmd
you need to get it from systernals (ms download).

I am not sure. But here is one of the commands in the batch file, its calling msiexec.exe
REM Uninstall Bluebeam Revu 19.0.5 x64:
SET GUID={59C37150-DACB-42B2-8AD7-ADC59F9FDBEA}
REG QUERY %UNINSTALLKEY%\%GUID%>nul 2>nul
IF "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" msiexec.exe /x %GUID% /qn
If I have to use psexec, wouldn't I have to put that on all the systems I am trying to run the batch on? - bozadmin 2 months ago
