A standard account that run one command as administator

You can set this up by adding it as a Task scheduler task.

Welcome to TenForums.

It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.

- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.

- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
- Both tutorial lists are searchable.
- You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials

You can search TenForums using the search box in the top-right corner of all TenForums webpages or using Advanced Search - TenForums
- You can also search TenForums threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com after your search term. For example,
Search for drivers by HardwareID site:tenforums.com
- [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of TenForums webpages does automatically]

The example you chose does not need Admin permission.
But sticking with that example for a moment, this is how you would set up such a command in Task scheduler

Program - cmd.exe
Arguments - /k "wmic os get lastbootuptime"
That /k keeps the window open after the command has run.

Note that WMIC has been deprecated in Windows 10/11. See this Microsoft doc - Deprecated features for Windows client - for more info.

As a result it may be better to get used to querying WMI via PowerShell. For example, the following will do the same (and doesn't need to be run as Administrator):

Code:

Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select LastBootUpTime

OR

Code:

(Get-CimInstance -ClassName win32_operatingsystem).lastbootuptime

OR

Code:

(gcim Win32_OperatingSystem).LastBootUpTime

My friend's a packager so I asked him to compile it using tools at his disposal. The resulting 119k executable works fine but unfortunately a couple of VirusTotal's more - ahem - esoteric (aka unknown) scanners flagged it as malicious, presumably because it uses Windows Forms rather than the PowerShell one-liner:



Hope this helps...

You can't give a std user the power to run an Admin command.
But what you can do is set it up in Task scheduler then run a shortcut to that task. That's the whole point of the tutorial I gave you a link to.
Run the shortcut remotely in whatever way your ssh setup requires.

The command

Code:

wmic os get lastbootuptime

does not need Admin approval.
I think that your access problem is caused by your ssh use.
