Running cmd.exe as admin

[WantToKnow]

To change the date I need to run my batch file as an admin.
This works:

Code: Select all

    SetDate := A_DD "." A_MM "." 2014
    FileAppend % "Date " SetDate, % A_ScriptDir "\" "TmpDate.bat"
    RunWait *RunAs "%A_ScriptDir%\TmpDate.bat"

Now I want to do the same without creating a batch file before just using cmd.exe

Code: Select all

    cmdPath := A_ScriptDir "\cmd.exe"
    if FileExist(cmdPath)
    RunWait *RunAs "%A_ScriptDir%\cmd.exe date 10.05.2014"

Unfortunately this doesn't work.
A big thanks for your help!

Hello,

Since Windows can automatically synchronize its date with servers using time standards, I suppose that in most cases where people are attempting to change their computer's date, they are attempting to circumvent other software with timed expirations. I don't think that this forum supports that type of activity.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33.11
RunWait % "*RunAs " A_ComSpec " /c DATE 05/20/2024",, Hide
MsgBox 64, Status, Done!

You need not look far for this type of example; it's in the documentation under Run.
