RE: Service startup on Windows 2000 fails
I cannot trust my network admins. They do crap without any notification. They will make a change and then I will spend the next day trying to figure out what happened. Their typical response is Oh, we didn't know that the databases would be affected. DO NOT TRUST NETWORK ADMINS. And from my time working in IS I have found that network admins have no communication skills. These are NT guys. I had better luck with unix network admins though. Go figure.

RE: Service startup on Windows 2000 fails

Is this a new install? Or did it juststart happening?Does a re-boot of the server make any difference? Could well be a permissions/access issue. Trying to runLSNRCTL from the command line may still giveyou some more meaningful clues..

Once you get the LSNRCTL prompt you can type the 'START' command, which will try to start the Listener. This will, hopefully, give you more meaningful messages so that you then try to resolve the issue. Note down and follow-up on any TNS-X errors, etc. You can also issue the 'STATUS' command to show the current status of the Listener or the 'HELP' command to list the various commands you can issue. Once you are done you can exit by issuing the 'Exit' (or Quit) command. You might also find these two notesuseful: 33589.1 and 126074.1on Metalink.

RE: Service startup on Windows 2000 fails
Lisa, I'd suggest checking the application log in Windows event viewer - usually contains something even if the on-screen response suggests no error returned. You should see things like Audit trail: ACTION : 'SHUTDOWN' DATABASE USER: '/' PRIVILEGE : SYSDBA CLIENT USER: SYSTEM CLIENT TERMINAL: STUPIDMACHINE STATUS: 0 . and a bunch of PGA instantiation events for SMON, PMON, etc (e.g. Initializing PGA for process RECO in instance stupid1) Given your services are failing, you should see a bunch of errors (whether they're useful is another story ...) If that fails to shed any light, also try the listener log / alert log, and see if there are any tell tale errors there.

I can't start any of the services associated with Oracle, not with my logon, not with local admin, not with a local account with appropriate permissions, nothing. Here's what I've tried: Followed note on metalink stating to add local security policies: Act as part of operating system, increase quotas, log on as batch job, replace a process level token, and rebooted. All logons are part of the administrator and the ORA_DBA group. I am able to log in as each of these local accounts, the accounts are not locked or messed up. I have double-checked the password in the properties tab. Local system account also fails with same error. Here's the error I receive when I try to manually start the listener service: Could not start the OracleOraHome81TNSListener service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator. I am clueless and so is the sysadmin. I am just thankful this is a test system instead of production... I know next to nothing about windows. Any suggestions would be helpful.

RE: Service startup on Windows 2000 fails
Good morning, too, I wonder if you can't start your listener service, as far as I know listener service is automaticaly run when Windows 2000 starts. I just can give you an advice to talk with your System Administrator and ask for him to check what is going on.
