The logged-on user doesn't have admin rights

[m-spitfire]

Hello, I am trying to run the script in the admin powershell but this warning comes and script exits:

WARNING: The logged-on user doesn't have admin rights

That's because it thinks that current user is not admin. It checks that with equality of $CurrentUserName and $LoginUserName:

$CurrentUserName = (Get-Process -Id $PID -IncludeUserName).UserName | Split-Path -Leaf
$CurrentSessionId = (Get-Process -Id $PID -IncludeUserName).SessionId
$LoginUserName = (Get-Process -IncludeUserName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object -FilterScript {($_.Name -eq "explorer") -and ($_.SessionId -eq $CurrentSessionId)}).UserName | Select-Object -Index 1 | Split-Path -Leaf

The $CurrentUser evaluates to Murad but $LoginUserName is just empty string. As you can see from the below picture that my user is Administrator:

Should I just delete the lines for checking if user is admin or not, or should I do something else?

Hi. Yes, you're right. I fixed it, re-released 2 hours later with the same version. Please, try again and let me know.

@spitfire-hash - It is possible that you have previously uninstalled Powershell 2.0 and Engine. Do you want to try adding them and the checking this out.

It doesn't depend on this. PS 2.0 isn't being used in PS 5.1.

Better to try and dismiss.. You can try from your end if @spitfire-hash is not readily available for testing. Remove 2.0 and Engine and try running script and see if this Error Appears. If it doesn't we can dismiss it. Unfortunatley, I am at work and I can't try

Tested on a clear 21H1 VM: disabled both, restarted. No error appears. :)

Funny - I had the same issue yesterday and I ran out of wits to fix this. I gave almost all SePrivilege and still no luck.. Finally, I turned on Powershell 2.0 and it worked :)

It would be possible to use OBS. instead of streaming you simply configure the screen as the source and send the output as a file. https://obsproject.com/ Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com/) Secure Email. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Yeah I knew that, but didn't wanted to install

Then couldn't find anything built in then installed it.
