Sounds good in theory.
What if the upgrade destroys some DLL in the SYSTEM32 directory that
Oracle is dependent on?
There may be none Oracle registry entries set such as:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WaitToKillServiceTimeout
This is sometimes set to a much higher than default value to
allow Oracle to shutdown properly without getting killed by NT.
Sounds like something that should be tested on a non-critical
system first.

Subject: Server upgrade NT4 -> W2K Oracle implications
We have an 8.1.7 SE database on a server which is currently NT4 SP6. The
System Admin group wish to upgrade the server to W2K and propose doing so
by
recreating the C: partitition. Our Oracle software resides on E: (same
physical disk) and database files on other disks/partitions. Are there
any
implications for the Oracle software and database for this upgrade. Are
there any steps I need to take pre or post OS upgrade?. In particular I'm
wondering about implications for the registry.
Any advice/help would be appreciated.
