Solution

  • You can do something like this, just give a try !

    Option Explicit
' Run as Admin
If Not WScript.Arguments.Named.Exists("elevate") Then
    CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute WScript.FullName _
    , WScript.ScriptFullName & " /elevate", "", "runas", 1
    WScript.Quit
End If
Dim ws,MyCommand,Execution
Set ws = createobject("wscript.shell")
MyCommand = "SFC /SCANNOW"
Execution = ws.run(MyCommand,1,False)
