Exécuterning windows container's commande prompt in admin mode

[ForumBot]

I am running Windows Nanoserver in a container.The nanoserver contains only the command prompt and lacks powershell.

I want to execute certain commands inside the container in the command prompt which require elevated privileges. I am currently using the following to launch the command prompt of the container.

`docker exec -it cmd`

Is there any other way using which we can run the command prompt in admin mode?

As per the [Windows Containers documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/manage-containers/persistent-storage#permissions), the Windows Server Core has `ContainerAdministrator` as the default user whereas Windows NanoServer has `ContainerUser` as the default user.

Thanks to Peter's comment, I was able to connect to my container as admin using the following command-

`docker exec --user ContainerAdministrator -it cmd`
