We have a few developers that use Oracle 9i (9.2.0.4.0) on their
personal workstations for testing purposes. Recently, weve made the
decision to upgrade them to WinXP so that they are able to use some
other functionalities of the OS, but we are running into a totally odd
problem with Oracle. It seems that, Installing Oracle runs just fine,
and our ant scripts to build the database work well...but when we reboot
the computer, the database refuses to run as a Local Service, and
instead will only come up when you give it a domain account to use to
start up. I'm hoping someone here has seen this. Here is an excerpt of a
e-mail I sent to managers, edited for public posting.
We use Windows XP Service Pack 1 in a Mixed-mode Active Directory
infrastructure.
-------------------------------
I un-installed and cleaned (via docs given to me by Beth) both COMPUTER1
and COMPUTER2.
COMPUTER1 was not having issues.
COMPUTER2 refused to connect using sqlplus unless a domain account was
specified as a startup account.
I installed both as the local named administrator. (COMPUTER\Administrator)
Both were installed via network shared files. And, over terminal
services, I might add. No issues.
After the ant scripts were run, both immediately were able to connect
using sqlplus both locally and via the listener. The only issue that the
ant scripts ran into is that the
C:\oracle\ora92\network\admin\tnsnames.org file had listed
DCEP.DOMAIN.COM instead of DCEP.HOST.DOMAIN.COM on both machines after
running create-9i-database. This was manually fixed before running
create-common-objects and create-all objects.
After a reboot, COMPUTER1 was still able to connect, but COMPUTER2 threw
the following errors:
----------------------------------------------------
P:\>sqlplus COMPUTER2/COMPUTER2
SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production on Thu Apr 15 18:40:00 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I then changed the OracleServiceDCEP service to start using my login. On
a restart, I was able to use sqlplus as expected. Changes to the
OracleOraHome92TNSListener service had no effect either way, and
functioned fine under either login type. (Local Service, named account.)
Setting the DCEP service to use .\oracle resulted in the following after
using sqlplus:
ERROR:
ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed
..\oracle is a local, privileged (Admin) account with "Log on as a
Service" rights.
Setting it back to my domain account resulted in immediate functionality.
I am at the end of my rope. I've installed two machines, using local
admin accounts, *exactly* the same, and got different results. I have
this process near memorized, and I have my install steps completely
documented.I could near install this with my eyes closed.
