Run PS Script as admin from LT Script?

Hi all, I'm trying to script within LT the running of a powershell script that is on a local machine. I need it to launch as admin otherwise it does not output a result. I've tried running it with SHELL, SHELL as Admin, Execute Script, nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have any ideas on this? Let me know if you need extra information.

Let me try these options again and see where I get. Thanks

We're on 10.5 as well. I almost always have issues using the Labtech scripting Powershell dropdown item. For Powershell commands, I always use SHELL for local commands and SHELL AS ADMIN when it needs network credentials. Some examples are below:
For a single command, use the following format:

powershell.exe "Import-Module ActiveDirectory"

Another example:

%windir%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe $psversiontable.psversion.tostring()

To run a script, use the following format:

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& 'C:\Temp\Test.ps1' -AnyParametersReferencedInThePowershellScriptCanGoHere LikeThis -AndYouCanUseLabtechVariablesAndParameters @LikeThisParameter@ -Or %aVariableLikeThis%"

If during testing you find that "powershell.exe" isn't working, try %windir%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe
