PowerShell.Reddit.Support VS ProcessEx

Head over to this repo to check the scripts.

This script will kill any specific pwsh.exe instances that is running a specific script.

You can run this script to view the example.

Hi again, I made a function to list the HP Bios Settings and apply a filter on the settings names or settings values. Check it here.

You can use robocopy directly, make sure to read available documentation , or use this powershell script I made as a wrapper for robocopy's usage in PowerShell ... Have fun!

Better yet, use this script wrapping robocopy.

If it's as another user then using Start-Process ... -Credential $cred will give you a process that is not elevated. If you want to start it as the current user there isn't really an easy way to do so with the cmdlets builtin and what dotnet offers you. If you are open to using a custom module I have ProcessEx which exposes the ability to start a new process with a custom parent. With this you can set the parent as explorer.exe which will be unelevated and the process inherits the same access token.

There are a few ways you can spawn a sub process as the limited token but it's not something you can easily do with the builtin cmdlets and dotnet APIs available. The simplest option I know is to spawn a new process with a custom parent that is not elevated. For example I can use my ProcessEx module to spawn a limited process with the parent of explorer.exe.

Using Start-ProcessWith with a -Credential object should work for both running in session 0 (Enter-PSSession) and using the -Wait parameter to wait for it to complete. Unfortunately it will spawn in a new window (which you can hide though). If you want it to run the new process as another user but in the same window you essentially need Start-ProcessEx with a -Token. This allows you to spawn a process in the current terminal but unfortunately the -Token side requires privileges that not even normal Administrators typically have, thus would need to be run as SYSTEM.

For Windows, the only thing you can do with an exe like this is to rely on the ConPTY APIs Windows provides and reads from that. Unfortunately there is no builtin way to do this with PowerShell so you are reliant on either writing the PInvoke code yourself or using a 3rd party module. I have one called ProcessEx which can be used to spawn a new process under a ConPTY and capture that as a string with the following:
