I Need a script that runs an existing script, waits a specified time then runs another existing script
We have an existing script in case that we can 'run now' that will add the user as local admin, but they have to log off or reboot for the change to take effect. We also have a working script that removes admin. What I want to do is create a script that will grant admin, reboot the computer with a warning to the user and countdown, and then reboot. Then this same script sleeps for a specified time like 4 hours, and then calls the admin removal script to run, then warns user with a countdown and then reboots. And When I say countdown I mean "your computer will reboot in 5 minutes, please close save all work. And gives them an option to postpone for 5 minutes then bugs them again, and again until they reboot.
Thanks.

I have to ask why you would need to temporarily add admin rights to the active user. - htomlinson 7 years ago

To install various applications to include the software we make. - MarcatY@rdi 7 years ago

Thanks VBScab, but that is the by far the most complicated thing I ever seen. I would never be able to script something like that. Again; I'm new to all of this and really have no idea where to begin. Mark Gonzales from Dell helped me out yesterday and made a smart label which when the target machine checked into case would remove admin; but sadly iy it did not work. I'm stating to think it's impossible. - MarcatY@rdi 7 years ago

mshta "%~DP0DoShutdown.HTA" /T:23:00:00 /A:L /FYou will have seen the arguments available when you ran it.

I would ask the same question.
It would be an order of magnitude simpler to create a script which you can run remotely as an admin to perform whatever task is required, or you could simply use PSEexec.
I do, however, know that sometimes, you need to tell the user that you're going to reboot their machine. Here's an HTA which I've used in the past to do just that.

It is easily possible but clearly beyond your skill to implement if you consider VBScab's solution to be complex.
PSExec (or PAExec which can be redistributed) are the obvious and simple solution to your requirement. I use psexec on my Windows 10 workstation to install software using the "system" account when testing apps on a virtual machine that has no network connection. The script sits on my desktop and to install, I just drag the key install file onto the script and it runs. Nothing to stop you creating a solution to do this remotely, but again, not for the inexperienced.
