-          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
-          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
-          the Derivative Works; and
-      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
-          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must

-          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
-          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or

-          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
-          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
-          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and

-          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
-          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
-          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
-          as modifying the License.
-      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
-      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
-      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or

-      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with

-      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
-      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
-      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
-      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
-      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
-      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
-   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
-      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
-      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
-      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
-   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
-      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
-      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
-      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
-      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
-      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
-      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
-      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
-      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
-   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
-      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
-      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
-      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
-      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
-      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
-      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
-      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
-      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
-      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
-      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
-   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
-      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
-      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
-      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
-      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
-      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
-      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
-      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
-      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
-      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

-```
-### Impersonating a service account
-By passing a `nil` password, winrm-elevated will assume that the command should run as a service account:
-```ruby
-require 'winrm'
-require 'winrm-elevated'
-conn = WinRM::Connection.new(...
-conn.shell(:elevated) do |shell|
-  shell.username = 'System'
-  shell.password = nil
-  shell.run('$PSVersionTable') do |stdout, stderr|
-    STDOUT.print stdout
-    STDERR.print stderr
-  end
-end
-```
-### Using an interactive task
-By setting `interactive_logon` to `true`, the scheduled task will be configured to use an interactive logon allowing all command activity to be viewable from a RDP session if logged on as the same user as the winrm credentials:
-```ruby
-require 'winrm'
-require 'winrm-elevated'
-conn = WinRM::Connection.new(...
-conn.shell(:elevated) do |shell|
-  shell.interactive_logon = true
-  shell.run('notepad.exe')
-end
-```
-## How does it work?
-The gem works by creating a new logon session local to the Windows box by using a scheduled task. After this point WinRM is just used to read output from the scheduled task via a log file.
-1. The command you'd like to run outside the WinRM context is saved to a temporary file.
-2. This file is uploaded to the machine over WinRM.
-3. A script is executed over WinRM and does the following:
-  1. Scheduled task is created which will execute your command and redirect stdout and stderr to a location known by elevated_shell.ps1.
-  2. The scheduled task is executed.
-  3. elevated_shell.ps1 polls the stdout and stderr log files and writes them back to WinRM. The script continues in this loop until the scheduled task is complete.
-## Troubleshooting
-If you're having trouble, first of all its most likely a network or WinRM configuration
-issue. Take a look at the [WinRM gem troubleshooting](https://github.com/WinRb/WinRM#troubleshooting)
-first.
-## Contributing
-1. Fork it.
-2. Create a branch (git checkout -b my_feature_branch)
-3. Run the unit and integration tests (bundle exec rake integration)
-4. Commit your changes (git commit -am "Added a sweet feature")
-5. Push to the branch (git push origin my_feature_branch)
-6. Create a pull requst from your branch into master (Please be sure to provide enough detail for us to cipher what this change is doing)
-### Running the tests
-We use Bundler to manage dependencies during development.
-```
-$ bundle install
-```
-Once you have the dependencies, you can run the unit tests with `rake`:
-```
-$ bundle exec rake spec
-```
-To run the integration tests you will need a Windows box with the WinRM service properly configured. Its easiest to use the Vagrant Windows box in the Vagrantilfe of this repo.
-1. Create a Windows VM with WinRM configured (see above).
-2. Copy the config-example.yml to config.yml - edit this file with your WinRM connection details.
-3. Run `bundle exec rake integration`

+# Runs PowerShell commands as elevated over Windows Remote Management (WinRM) via a scheduled task
+[![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/winrm-elevated.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/rb/winrm-elevated)
+This gem allows you to break out of the magical WinRM constraints thus allowing to reach out to network shares and even install Windows updates, .NET, SQL Server etc.
+## Running commands elevated
+```ruby
+require 'winrm'
+require 'winrm-elevated'
+conn = WinRM::Connection.new(...
+conn.shell(:elevated) do |shell|
+  shell.run('$PSVersionTable') do |stdout, stderr|
+    STDOUT.print stdout
+    STDERR.print stderr
+  end
+end
