Name


The name of the city in Macedonian is Resen (Ресен), in Serbian Resan (Ресан), and in Turkish Resne, while in the Aromanian language it is Reșani. In Albanian the town is known as Resnjë; definite form: Resnja.



History


The ancient Illyrian city of Damastion[2] may be near Resen.
Resen's history dates back to Roman times when the famous road Via Egnatia was built, passing through the city.


During the Middle Ages, the Prespa area was part of the Bulgarian empire under Samuil. After the Battle of Klyuch, some of Samuil's soldiers, who were each blinded in one eye, settled in a village on the shore of Lake Prespa. The Byzantines called the village Asamati. The Byzantine meaning of this word is "settlement of one-eyed people". From then on, Resen was under Byzantine rule.


Later, Resen became part of the Second Bulgarian Empire, Serbian Empire and Ottoman Empire, and it was the birthplace of Ahmed Niyazi Bey, an Albanian officer from a noble family of the town, who was one of the initiators and leaders of the Young Turk Revolution in the region in 1908.[3] Ahmed Niyazi Bey's most famous monument in Resen is the Saraj, a French-style estate he built.[4] In the late 19th and early 20th century, Resen was part of the Manastir Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire.


From 1929 to 1941, Resen was part of the Vardar Banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

Image
0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers? scheduled-tasks taskscheduler windowstaskschedule share | improve this question asked Nov 15 '18 at 15:36 Far...
