How to catch access denied error in windows command

The goal is to check if a user has started this bat file as an administrator, if not I echo the message.



I have this line of code in bat file:



echo 192.168.5.10 nsd-server >nul >> %WINDIR%System32DriversEtcHosts


It throws Access denied but when inspecting variable %errorlevel% it's always 0.
How to catch that error?
The solution has to be native, without any setup or installation because I need to run this on many client computers. When they run this file everything has to be completed, no extra steps.






command-line command windows-10

          I've found a solution. You need to use "||". If you use "|| rem" then variable %errorlevel% will contain error number.



            echo 192.168.5.10 nsd-server >nul >> %WINDIR%System32DriversEtcHosts || goto admin
          
echo 192.168.5.10 nsd-server >nul >> %WINDIR%System32DriversEtcHosts || rem

                    What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

                    Image
                    0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?

Trompette piccolo en si bémol, avec des branches d'embouchure différentes pour le si bémol (la plus courte) ou la (la plus longue) Trompette piccolo La trompette piccolo est la plus petite de la famille des trompettes. Elle joue une octave plus haut que la trompette standard en si bémol. La plupart des trompettes piccolo sont conçues pour jouer dans les deux tonalités de si bémol ou la, en utilisant une branche d'embouchure différente pour chaque tonalité. Le tube de la trompette piccolo en si bémol a une longueur moitié de celle de la trompette normale en si bémol. Des trompettes piccolo en sol, fa, ut sont également fabriquées, mais elles sont rares. La trompette soprano en ré, aussi connu comme la « trompette Bach », a été inventée vers 1890 par le facteur belge Victor-Charles Mahillon pour jouer les parties hautes de la trompette dans la musique de Bach et Haendel.
