Powershell Identify whether running on Administrator

by jeevan, posted in powershell

In some cases, we need to run some script in administrator mode.

Sometimes we face a situation where we want to know whether the script is running on Administrator mode.

Following script says whether PowerShell script is running on Administrator mode or not.


$elevated = [bool](([System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).groups -match "S-1-5-32-544")
if($elevated -eq $false)
{
throw "In order to install services, please run this script elevated."
}
else {
Write-Host "You are in Administrator mode"
}
