Throughout the mankind history, 3 major Abrahamic religions arose in the world. Almost two millenniums afterwards (in the year 1830), another “religious” book emerged in the US (the Book of Mormon).
It is funny how these 4 books can be likened to a funny quadrilogy book set.

In chapter 4 of the Batchography book, I illustrate 3 methods that you can use to check if your Batch file script is running as an Administrator.
In this blog post, I will share with you the method entitled “Using known commands that fail to run without elevated privileges” from the book.
The idea behind this method is to run commands that are known to fail and return a non-zero error code if they are not executed with administrative privilege.
The Batch script would then check the return code and act accordingly:
@echo off :: :: The Batchography book by Elias Bachaalany :: net session >nul 2>&1 if %errorlevel% neq 0 ( echo Requires administrative privilege. goto :eof ) echo Script starts here...
