help Jobs not running on OEM console

[Joe Gulla]

Hi all
I'm running 9i on xp professional. I have the oem manager install
and can connect to the Oracle management server or launch standalone.
When I connect to the management server I cannot get any jobs
to run. I get the message

VNI-2015 : The Node preferred credentials for the target node are either
invalid
or do not have sufficient privileges to complete the operation.
On Windows platforms, the Node credentials specified for the Windows target
should have the "Logon as a batch job" privilege.

I have checked the user(Administrator) in the security policy on XP I do
have "Logon as a Batch Job" priv and the preferred credentials for the
database is sys as sysdba

Am I missing something Joe

In the preferred credentials panel, what credentials are you using for
the node itself? The paragraph below is straight from my Oracle
Instructor's Guide to OEM

Before accepting any JOB and certain EVENTS, the Intelligent Agent
will first validate the necessary Operating System (OS) permissions
exist by establishing a "new" OS logon session at the server. The OS
logon account and password are pulled from the EM Consoles Preferred
Credential settings for that target node. If the preferred credentials
are set incorrectly, missing, or the OS User is missing required
permissions, the Intelligent Agent will not be able to make that new
OS connection and the job or event will fail with the error.

If that's not it, what account started the intelligent agent?
