The Château de Marchais is an historic château in Marchais, Aisne, near Laon in northern France.



History


The château was built in the 16th century.[1] It was purchased in 1553 by Charles, Cardinal of Lorraine, a member of the House of Guise.[2] From 1836 to 1854, the château belonged to Senator Achille Joseph Delamare.[3]


It has been in the possession of the Monégasque princely family since 1854.[1][4]Prince Albert I of Monaco married Lady Mary Victoria Hamilton at the château in 1869.[5]Prince Charles III of Monaco died there in 1889.


In 1927, Léon-Honoré Labande, the archivist of the Prince's Palace of Monaco, authored Le château et la baronnie de Marchais. At the outset of World War II, Louis II, Prince of Monaco, was in the château until May 17, 1939.[6]


The property contains two farms; its acreage is six times the size of the principality of Monaco. In the mid-1980s, Prince Rainier III of Monaco acquired a herd of camels, an African buffalo and two guanacos from a bankrupt zoo, and placed them at the château.[7]

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...
