Angelfire is an Internet service that offers free and paid website services. It is owned by Lycos, which also owns Tripod.com. Angelfire operates separately from Tripod.com and includes features such as blog building and a photo gallery builder. It also supports, for paid members only, CGI scripts written in Perl. Although Angelfire and Tripod are separate services, they share much of the same underlying software, such as the blog application.



History


Angelfire was founded in 1996 and was originally a combination Web site building and medical transcription service.[2] Eventually the site dropped the transcription service and focused solely on Web site hosting, offering only paid memberships.[2] The site was bought by Mountain View, California–based WhoWhere in 1997, which, in turn, was subsequently purchased by the search engine company Lycos in 1998.[2] Since Lycos already offered free website hosting with advertising through its acquisition of Tripod.com, Angelfire's offering was modified to also have parity with Tripod, including the addition of an increased amount of advertising, but also by offering more disk space.


Until May 2004, Angelfire offered paid email (as a cobrand of Mailcity) at the @angelfire.com domain, but this feature has been replaced by webmail through Lycos Domains for premium users only.


Angelfire received a major redesign in September 2010. It was completely re-coded using HTML5 mark-up and now promotes the Angelfire site builder as its main Web publishing tool. The classic Web Shell tool is still active but is only available to members with paid plans.

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...
