Run batch file rename a folder as administrator!

I am trying to rename the CBS [C:\Windows\Logs\CBS] folder to CBS_OLD but got an Access Denied error.
I have tried numerous combinations of commands but to no avail and Google has been no help!
Is there an easy way [probably not] to run commands as an Administrator from within a batch file please?
I am not interested in running from the command line or right-clicking and Run as administrator.

This is the latest code I have...

Code:

@echo off
echo.
net stop wuauserv
rem net stop bits
takeown /f %systemroot%\Logs\CBS /r /d y
ICACLS %systemroot% /grant %username%:F /T
rename %systemroot%\Logs\CBS %systemroot%\Logs\CBS_OLD
net start wuauserv
pause

Here is the current output...



Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies samuria and iko22,

takeown gives ownership to the current user, rather than the administrator, until you include the /a switch as a parameter to the takeown command. Depends on if that is what you want to do.

I have got a small menu driven batch file. I have administrator rights so for me there is not a problem. I would like the batch commands to run as administrator for those who are normal users. i.e. changing the CBS [C:\Windows\Logs\CBS] folder to CBS_OLD etc, if possible!

Thanks in adcance.

Hi samuria,

If you use the runas in the script as post 2 it should work.

That will not run within the code though. I want to be able to achieve this from within the script!

Here is an amended screen shot without @echo off...



The thing is I think this is wrong because I need it to be set as Administrator and to run as Administrator!

Thanks in advance.

Thanks again iko22,

This is not critical BTW and is not networked!

The idea behind this is I want to upload a batch file that members can use. It has a menu. I want them to be able to run the menu items. i.e. If they wanted to run SFC, then I thought it would be a good idea to rename the CBS folder to CBS_OLD first for example. I just wondered if there was an easy way to get the code to run with administrator rights.

Thanks.
