Your assumption is correct. You can change this user as well, but you need to make sure that this user has the proper permissions. To make your life simpler you can just make sure that you make sure that this user is a member of the local administrators group.
Side Question: Your assumption is again correct. If you try and start the database without the service running from a command line you will get an ora-12560. Very common mistake. Regards, Michael Sale Consulting Technical Specialist PLBDE Oracle Corporation Author: Oracle9i for Windows(R) 2000 Tips & Techniques http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0072194626 -----Original Message----- Baumgartel Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 4:48 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L A couple of basic questions, if you'll indulge me: 1. Does the Oracle service on Win2K run in the security domain of its login user (LocalSys)? 2. If so, would that explain why RMAN can't write to a network drive that's mapped by a different user who is logged in to the domain rather than the local machine? Side question: Am I correct in my belief that the Oracle service must be running before an Oracle instance can start, and that it keeps running even when the instance is shut down? Many TIA.
