Issues with batch file to run MMC with elevated account

Hey all. I'm trying to create a batch file to run an MMC using an elevated account. I'm a novice when it comes to batch files, but this is what I have so far is:

runas /user:domain\account "mmc C:\SuperConsole.msc"
pause

While I'm not including the domain or account info in this post, the file location is the same. I put the pause in it so I can see the error that I'm getting since I know that the MMC is not popping up.

So, I run the batch file and the CMD prompts for the password. I input the password and I receive the below error:

RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - mmc C:\SuperConsole.msc
740: The requested operation requires elevation.

This is where I am perplexed. The account I'm running as is an elevated account. I've tried everything from removing the quotes, using my standard account, and placing mmc outside the quotes. I've also tried running a CMD as my elevated account and it comes up fine. Thoughts?

Just to confirm, are you running the .BAT files as administrator?

Try placing the .BAT file on your desktop, and then right-click and select 'Run as administrator'

Make a shortcut of the bat file then do this

Right-click the new shortcut, and then click Properties.
On the Shortcut tab, click the Advanced button.

Select the Run as administrator checkbox.

Whose account are you trying to use ? Your own or the Local Administrator ?
