Administration


A district of an Indian state is an administrative geographical unit, headed by a district magistrate or a deputy commissioner, an officer belonging to the Indian Administrative Service. The district magistrate or the deputy commissioner is assisted by a number of officials belonging to different wings of the administrative services of the state.


A superintendent of Police, an officer belonging to Indian Police Service is entrusted with the responsibility of maintaining law and order and related issues.



History


In 1957, the Naga Hills District district of Assam and Tuensang Frontier Division of the North-East Frontier Agency (now Arunachal Pradesh) were joined to form the centrally governed Naga Hills Tuensang Area. At that point the previous subdivisions became Kohima, Mokokchung and Tuensang districts. February 1961 saw the renaming of Naga Hills Tuensang Area to "Nagaland", and in December 1963 Nagaland became the 16th state of India.


December 1973 saw the new districts of Wokha and Zunheboto carved out of Mokokchung, Mon district carved from Tuensang district, and Phek district created out of Kohima district.[2]:8


In 1997 Dimapur district was carved from Kohima district.[3][4]


Three more districts were added in January 2004: Kiphire, Longleng and Peren.[5] Kiphire and Longleng districts were carved from Tuensang district, Peren district was carved from Kohima district.[6]


Noklak district was created on 22 December 2017, previously having been a sub-district of Tuensang district.[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...
