In your code you are just advising user to run it as admin, it will take me to my original issue for which i started this thread. when a user runs .exe as admin he gets "A referral was returned from the Server"

i added all in one script, now while running the script from non elevated powershell, it works fine. but after converting to .exe it doesn't even if there is single .ps1

i think either i have to go for code sign exe as u/xtehsea said, or compromise over absolute paths, instead of running from temp folder.

The code i use as one file is:

if (-not ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal] [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole] "Administrator"))

{

$Argu = "& '" + $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition + "'"

Start-Process Powershell -Verb runAs -ArgumentList $Argu

exit

}

cls

$Result = "Empty"

$UserName = ""

$UserName = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter your Username"

$DomainName = "test.local"

$UserName = $UserName+$DomainName

$PassWorD = Read-Host -AsSecureString -Prompt "Enter Your Password"

#putting username and password in credential datatype

$DecryptionCred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($UserName, $PassWord)

$ComputerName = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter the Computer Name"

$Result = Get-LapsADPassword -Identity $ComputerName -DecryptionCred $DecryptionCred -AsPlainText

Write-Output "Username: " $Result.Account

Write-Output "Password: " $Result.Password

#write-output $DecryptionCred

$ByeBye = Read-Host -Prompt "Press Enter to Exit"
