Running A Command Prompt As Administrator (Vista or 7)

Posted Jul 14, 2009 | by Rich Menga | No Comments  

Certain commands in Windows Vista and 7 require “elevation” in order to execute. For example, if you run NETSTAT -B, a notice will appear that states:

The requested operation requires elevation.

What does this mean exactly? It’s means you need additional permission(s) to execute the operation. This is done by executing a Command Prompt as Administrator. See video below for instructions on how to do it (it’s easy).
