Elevated Permissions

T

Terry Passmore

Does anyone know what the new commands are for "ipconfig /release" and
"/renew". I am trying to run this but I get the message that I need
"elevated Permissions" to do this even though I have full
admisistrator rights. Whats going on here?

Hi Terry,

When UAC is enabled, you'll need to open an elevated Command Prompt to run those commands. To open an elevated Command Prompt window, use these steps:

Click Start, type cmd.exe When the Instant search results are shown, right-click the cmd.exe entry and choose Run as administrator. Or using keyboard, select the cmd.exe in the Instant search results using the UP/DOWN arrow and press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER on the keyboard.

If I could just add try pinning the CMD, or a shortcut to CMD, on to the
start menu, the benefit is you can configure its properties so that it
always 'Run As Administrator' from that location.
