    Doesn’t really make sense in the context of windows tbh

    sudo = “superuser do”

    They should have made it NT-ASdo for “NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM do”

    Except it should actually be a powershell module so you have to type out the whole thing as NT-AuthoritySystem-Do

    /s

            That’s what I wxpect. But with one more layer. In the end it’s going to be system32/elevator.exe which is called by Invoke-Elevation in ps which is aliased to sudo.

            It’s supposed to be available in cmd and batch so it must be callable directly

      Maybe, but knowing the ease of sudo, I really hate using runas. Most of the time, I just want plain old admin privileges. Mostly I don’t care whether I can impersonate another user with this.

    I am pretty sure it won’t work 100% like sudo on Unix-likes, so why didn’t they come up with different name, like elevate? This command being sudo will only confuse users.
