As with any other scipting language there's nothing special about PowerShell that would allow it to run as the System user. If there was, there would be a teensy-weensy security hole, don't you think?

You need to run the powershell in a console started as the system account.
Launch cmd.exe with "Run as administrator"
In the launched cmd.exe execute "psexec.exe -s cmd.exe" (get it from sysinternals.com)
Now execute your powershell (or what ever command you like) which should be executed under the system account

Re-reading the thread and your reply, Kim, I just remembered the old trick of how to run stuff as System without third-party tools, namely to execute a command prompt using the Task Scheduler, AT.EXE, something like:
AT hh:mm /interactive CMD
AT hh:mm /interactive CMD
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
