I have a python that uses pyvmomi library of VMWare to perform operations on remote VM. I open the remote VM cmd prompt using Pyvmomi library like this 

vim.vm.guest.ProcessManager.ProgramSpec(
        programPath="C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe")

Is there any way to open Power Shell as Admin or any code that can be added in the script to run it as Admin.

You have to run the powershell script as administrator:

You can create another script that will launch your script with elevated privileges.

  • @user1312155: there are other solution listed in the answer. One is `psexec`: http://ss64.com/nt/psexec.html If you don't have it, you have to install Sysinternal tools. – Marco Sulla Jul 24 '16 at 21:51
  • @Macro Sulla i can't use any other tool except VMWare Tools – user1312155 Jul 25 '16 at 03:59
  • You can run `runas` with `/savecred` on VM, password will be stored. I don't linke this solution for security reasons, but it will work. That said, `pstools` are now an official Microsoft tool and needs no install. – Marco Sulla Jul 25 '16 at 13:50
