I have a batch script which I am trying to open a file (powershell script on a network location). If I put the path as a local c:\test.ps1 it works fine but I cant seem to get it to work with the network file structure.

@echo off 
(set/p adminuser=Enter Your Admin Account: ) 
runas /user:%userdomain%\%adminuser% "powershell "\\Server\share$\IT Support\Test\Test Share\test.ps1""

Any ideas?

Thanks.

checked path is accessible to user account? –  nakchak May 9 '13 at 14:30
    
Certainly is... Not sure if its because the file path has spaces in but just cant get it to work sadly. –  user2299515 May 9 '13 at 14:34
    
what happens if you try powershell -executionpolicy bypass "\\Server\share$\IT Support\Test\Test Share\test.ps1" ? –  nakchak May 9 '13 at 14:39
    
Are you running this from a workstation or a server? What errors or messages do you get? –  Matt Williamson May 9 '13 at 14:44
    
Still wont run, just closes down the command prompt. If I put in a local short path it works fine so it def the path thats the issue althrough the path is perfectly correct. –  user2299515 May 9 '13 at 14:44

Try this:

@echo off 
(set/p adminuser=Enter Your Admin Account: ) 
runas /user:%userdomain%\%adminuser% "powershell -noexit & '\\Server\share$\IT Support\Test\Test Share\test.ps1'"
