Biography


Foster studied fine and studio arts the University of Tennessee. He spent years in designing trade show graphics and, later, as an ad agency creative director.[6]


Foster was inspired to learn how to create 3D books after seeing his first pop-up book, Kees Moerbeek's Hot Pursuit: A Forward and Backward Pop-up Book and taught himself by reverse engineering published books. "I destroyed a lot of them trying to figure out how they were done," he said.[7]


He began a career designing pop-up books as a freelancer for Baltimore book children’s book packager Ottenheimer Publishers.[4]

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...
