Re: Autostarting databases
Hi Bob I took a look at the database service one of our servers. service properties: startup program: d:\oracle\ora816\bin\oracle.exe abcd (the sid of the database). startup mode = automatic. logon as local system account. allow service to interact with desktop.

Re: Autostarting databases
Bob, ORADIM is not to be relied on to properly setup the registry. Check the ORACLE_SID value in HKLM/Software/Oracle/HOMEn directories to make sure that it is there and set properly. See Note 136214.1 on MetaLink, it has details on setting up the auto startup/shutdown parameters.
