Hi,
I've been trying to install Oracle 10g (10.1.0.2) onto wa Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) platform. The basic installation works fine but when I try o create a datbase (using Database Configuation Assistant) if fails with the following error message :
Instance created.
DIM-00019 create service error
O/S-Error: (OS 1388). A new member could not be added to a local group because the member has the wrong account type.

I figure this is actually a Windows problem but it is perhaps relavant to note that a 9i database was successfully installed and runs with no problem!
Any help would be much appreciated !!
Thanks,
Jack

Not intentionally ! This is my first experience with W Server 2003 - up to now used NT4 and XP . Is this a requirement ? And should I do the same if - as planned - I install 11g ? Your interest and help much appreciated ! Jack
