How can I get "runas" to really run as admin ?
For example:
"runas /user:administrator some-script.cmd"
is not the same as right-click and "run as administrator".
The latter works fine, but "runas /user:administrator" does not. I have tried various combinations of "runas" command line parameters but it does not work.
Try putting the quotation opener after the word administrator:
(source of where I got this from: Windows runas command syntax and examples )
Use task scheduler, with the option: Run with highest privileges, and an admin user...
Administrator is the name of a specific account, a built-in one that is normally disabled.
So you are trying to tell your script to run using a disabled user.
Run your command again using the name of another Admin account, one that you have created, that is currently enabled.
All the best,
Denis
