Batch File - PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File

I know this is probably simple to correct but I am having a problem.

I have a Folder with .PS1 files that I want to iterate through and run one after the other. The thing is I think I have complicated the permissions side of things. Here is the Script . . .

Code:

@echo off
color 17 & if NOT "%1"=="MAX" start /MAX cmd /c %0 MAX & Exit/b
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "params=%*"
cd /d "%~dp0" && ( if exist "%Temp%\getadmin.vbs" del "%Temp%\getadmin.vbs") && fsutil dirty query %systemdrive% 1>nul 2>nul || ( echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) : UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/k cd ""%~sdp0"" && %~s0 %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%Temp%\getadmin.vbs" && "%Temp%\getadmin.vbs" && Exit /b)
%windir%\system32\reg.exe query "HKU\S-1-5-19" 1>nul 2>nul || ( echo. & echo  ERROR: This Batch file MUST be run in an ELEVATED cmd prompt [ Administrator ] & echo. & echo         Right-click the Batch file and click ^<Run as Administrator^>. & echo. & echo ^>Press ANY key to EXIT . . . & pause >nul & Exit )

set "Folder=C:\System-Admin_Implementation"
set Count=0

echo.
if exist "%Temp%\*.vbs" (del "%Temp%\*.vbs")
echo set X=CreateObject("WScript.Shell") >> "%Temp%\*.vbs"
for %%j in ("%Folder%\*.ps1") do set /a Count += 1
echo.
echo  Processing . . . & echo.
echo  ==============================================================================& echo.
      for %%i in ("%Folder%\*.ps1") do (echo Processing File: %%i & echo X.Run ^"PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File ^" ^& chr^(34^) ^& %%i ^& chr^(34^), 0, True >> "%Temp%\*.vbs") & echo.
echo  ==============================================================================& echo.
echo  Processing COMPLETE.
echo  Processed %Count% PS1 files [ Check the Results for ERRORS ]. & echo. & del "%Temp%\*.vbs" & echo.
echo ^>Press ANY Key to Exit and Restart Explorer . . . & pause > nul
TaskKill /f /im explorer.exe & start explorer.exe

I am NOT really up with VBS.

The results show . . .

Code:

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

 Processing . . .

 ==============================================================================

Processing File: C:\System-Admin_Implementation\Change_This.ps1
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

 ==============================================================================

 Processing COMPLETE.
 Processed 1 PS1 files [ Check the Results for ERRORS ].

Could Not Find C:\Users\SYSTEM~1\AppData\Local\Temp\*.vbs

>Press ANY Key to Exit and Restart Explorer . . .

I even tried these . . .

Code:

PowerShell -Command "& {Set-ExecutionPolicy bypass}" -NoExit
for %%f in ("%Folder%\*.ps1") do PowerShell -Command "& {%%f}" -NoExit

Code:

set "Folder=C:\System-Admin_Implementation"
PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& {Start-Process PowerShell -ArgumentList '-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ""%Folder%\*.ps1""' -Verb RunAs}";

Thanks in advance.

Code:

 C:\Users\SYSTEM~1\AppData\Local\Temp\*.vbs

cannot be an Object in VBS - why not do everything in PS?

I'm not clued up on CMD (isn't that what Moses used on his tablets when he came down from the mountain?)

I want to do this via Batch Script!

Now I know that VBScript is totally unnecessary. You can simply use the following command in a batch script:

Call PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -file "%%i"

Thanks Matthew.

Did you get it to run, because my screen just flashes?

Still dunno how the *.vbs fits in - looks they are being deleted then attempted to access the non-existent stuff .

If using WShell.Run merely to run execute silently try the PS "&" command

eg:

Code:

 & (Join-Path $env:SystemRoot -ChildPath "\Path\File.vbs") | Out-Null

Matthew Wai said:

One line of command will do the job.

Code:

For %%i in ("C:\System-Admin_Implementation\*.ps1") Do (Call PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -file "%%i")

Thanks Matthew.

I did get it work and was just about to delete my above post when you posted. I had left a line of code in that needed to be taken out from when I was testing.

*.vbs is wrong.
Last year, in the following post, I used ✱.vbs, which worked.

Adapting .REG Files.

Note that ✱.vbs and *.vbs are two different things.

OIC.. like a Capital Asterix - never seen it before - what's the difference?
