      No, it really is super simple, just:

      Set-HostElevatedPrivilege -SubstituteUser Administrator -Privilege [Microsoft.Automation.HostPrivilege]::new("Administrators", $(hostname)) -Credential $(Get-Credential) -Command "ping 1.1.1.1"

      Indeed. The name doesn’t follow the conventions of other commands in Windows/Powershell at all. And it is inconsistente too. “sudo” stands for “super user do”, but in Windows the notion of super user is called administrator. This will likely also cause confusion with people googling for “sudo” and getting to *nix related pages instead.

        Nah, you can just google “windows+sudo” and look at if your results talk about unix or windows. And if they’re post 2024

    FINALLY! It only took them WAY TOO MANY FUCKING YEARS! Good job catching up to literal decades-old practices, guys! How do you like living in the 1990s?

    Man, I’ll almost miss having to run a VNC session in parallel with WinRM to click on the UAC popup.
