I've been meaning to research this further, but never got around to it.
I had one server that was placed in AD that gave me all kinds of grief
when I was installing the software. Our AD environment (very poorly
planned), ends with doi.net, yet all of our machines are only (web)
addressable as usgs.gov. When I was running the setup, Oracle always
insisted that the global name end with doi.net and caused all kinds of
other headaches. The easiest way I found around the problem was to
take the machine out of AD and just have it in a workgroup. There were
a couple of Metalink articles that provided some workarounds for an AD
environment, but they were extremely time-consuming, and logging in to
Oracle via SQL*Plus was still problemmatic while in AD. Trying to get
tnsnaming setup so all three servers could communicate was extremely
frustrating as well. Now that all three of my servers are just in a
workgroup, things work smoothly (as far as possible anyway). This was
the only way I could find to easily get Oracle not to use the doi.net
convention, but use the usgs.gov naming instead.
How do others on this list running Windows Servers in Active
Directory, handle installing and running Oracle software?
