The Requested Operation Requires Elevation in Vista
If you are using Windows Vista and are performing operations that require Administrator Privledges in the “cmd” command line area, you may receive an error “The Requested Operation Requires Elevation.”
The way to properly run privileged commands in the command line area is to start the command line interface in administrator mode. This can be done by clicking START>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt(Right-Click and Select “Run as Administrator”).
After running the command prompt as Administrator, all privileged commands will work.
As always, this post is to be used as a guide on how to properly use the command prompt interface in administrator mode. I take no responsibility for it’s use.
