Hi All,

Is there a simple command line I can throw
to tell me if I am running as administrator?

Many thanks,
-T

You can use: fsutil /?

It'll tell you by a message and ERRORLEVEL=1 if there's no admin rights.

If there's admin rights, it'll simply display fsutil's help and with
ERRORLEVEL=0.

Windows 11 pro 22H2

C:\NtUtil>type Windows.RaidCheck.pl6.bat
@echo off
fsutil /? > nul
echo %ERRORLEVEL%

As an administrator:
C:\NtUtil>Windows.RaidCheck.pl6.bat
1

This is because
fsutil /?
/? is an invalid parameter.

RATS !!!

Hi JJ,
You put me on the right path though
As a user:
net sessions & echo %ERRORLEVEL%
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
2

As an Administrator:
net sessions & echo %ERRORLEVEL%
There are no entries in the list.
0

Thank you!

Whoops. With fsutil, the /? shouldn't be specified. i.e. just `fsutil`
without any command line argument.

Another alternative which is longer to type but not without advantages, is
to simply check the content of the `systemprofile` folder. e.g.

@echo off
if exist %systemroot%\system32\config\systemprofile\* (
echo elevated
) else (
echo not elevated
)

Or try going into that folder...

@echo off
2>nul pushd %systemroot%\system32\config\systemprofile
if errorlevel 1 (
echo not elevated
) else (
popd
echo elevated
)

The advantages of checking that folder is because it's faster than executing
a tool. And a tool may be blocked by group policy, or be excluded by
debloater software from the OS installer to create a minimal OS installation
which is intended to only do specific thing.
