netsh command required elevation

I am using following command to create firewall exception. The command is being run through a batch file, called from my vb.net project.
 
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SQL Server Windows NT"; dir=in action=allow program=" allowedprogram "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn\ sqlservr.exe"; enable=yes

The required operation required requires elevation <Run as administrator>.
