I need a PowerShell script to add a registry key.

I am using the New-Item PowerShell command.

I keep geting the error "PermissionDenied"

I have tried checking the box "Run As User (Windows only)" against the script, and the currently logged in user is a local admin on the machine, but this has not changed anything.

When I run the script locally in an elevated PowerShell window, all works as expected, so I think the script is fine.

How can I get a PowerShell script to run as / elevate to admin so that it can add registry keys?

Many thanks!
