I have some deleted files in working directory, These are some library files that are missing. I want git to ignore them. Adding it to .gitignore would not help as they are already being tracked by git

For a single file, you can use the following to untract



git rm myfile


In the newer versions of git, those files are automatically untracked with 



git add --update

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...
