Etymology


William Henry Perrin's 1884 History of Trigg County does not explain the Spanish name of the town, but does say that in May 1820 the county commission chose Robert Baker's land as its seat. He relinquished his stable yard and the surrounding 50 acres (200,000 m2). From August to October, the commission platted out the town in blocks and gave it the name Cadiz.[5] Rennick's Kentucky Place Names repeats the local tradition that a Spaniard in the surveying party successfully suggested his hometown.[2]

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...
