Creating a tar.gz file with files that starts with C, in subdirectories












0















I have 1280 folders (Their names are 1, 2, 3, ..., 1280). Inside each folder I have several .txt files. However, I would like to create a single tar.gz file just for the .txt files that start with the letter "C".



Is it possible to do it? Any help would be great! Thank you in advance

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...
