  vista runas sudo api pwoershell snippet

  • Wes Haggard sent me an email this morning that caused me to "slap myself upside the head":

    Why got through this trouble when you can just user Process.Start?

    PS> $psi = new-object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo "notepad.exe"
    PS> $psi.Verb = "runas"
    PS> [System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start($psi)

    Oops. My bad. Hahaha... can't believe I didn't try that. :)
