Hi can someone pls help me to run powershell from vbscript as a administrator

VB Script

PowerShell power.ps1

C:\temp\psfile.exe $args[0] -c

Why are you trying to run a PowerShell script to run an external command instead of directly running the external command from VBScript? — Ansgar Wiechers

In VBScript Set is used for objects; so change

set input ="C:\temp\folder1\"

to

input = "C:\temp\folder1\"

tried but no luck.. I have to close all remote connections that were in folder1 share and under it's sub folders

Also, $input is a PowerShell automatic variable that doesn't work as the OP seems to expect. What the OP actually wants to use there is $args[0].

File C:\temp\power.ps1 cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system. Please see "get-help about_signing" for more details. At line:1 char:35 + C:\temp\power.ps1 <<<< c:\temp\folder1 + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], PSSecurityException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : RuntimeException

@user1954762 Which part of 'Please see "get-help about_signing" for more details' did you not understand? Please do some legwork yourself. We're not here to spoon-feed you a solution to your problem.

now it seems it's working fine when I send it as argument but same when I send via vbscript I am getting error as access denied.
