Andreas or Kirk Andreas is a village on the Isle of Man. It is located in the north of the island, in the parish of Andreas and the sheading of Ayre.


The village lies in the centre of the island's northern plain, at an altitude of about 20 metres. The A9, A17, A19, B2, B3, and B14 roads all converge on the village. The nearest town is Ramsey (5 km to the SE). The disused airfield is about 1 km to the east. The Ballalough Estate constitutes the northern part of the village, and contains the only roundabout in the north of the island.


The village has a parish hall and a primary school, Andreas Primary School.[1]St Andrew's Church, which was built in 1802 with stone from Sulby Glen, is in the Church of England Diocese of Sodor and Man. It is the parish church of the area. St Jude's Chapel was built in 1869 in a Romanesque style with a square tower.[2][3] In March 2005 the Friends of St Jude's took over the upkeep of the chapel and successfully campaigned against its demolition. It is now used for occasional services including weddings, funerals and christenings.[4]


The village is in the Keys constituency of Ayre & Michael.

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...
