Route description


The highway runs southward from Quartz Blow Creek, a point 31 kilometres west of Mount Surprise on the Gulf Developmental Road, via Charters Towers, to Springsure, over 900 kilometres away.[2]
The northern section of 756 kilometres is designated by the state government as the Gregory Developmental Road. The shorter southern section between Clermont and Springsure (174 kilometres) is designated the Gregory Highway. As of 2015, the first 120 kilometres between the Gulf Developmental Road via Einasleigh to the Lynd Junction are unsealed and may be corrugated. The next section to Charters Towers has been upgraded from single lane to mostly dual-laned bitumen.[2] The road is used by many road trains.

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...
