Hi folks, I'm confronted with a 2-node RAC on Win2003 Server, where the binaries were installed by a named user. This Windows account should be changed to a "service user", because named users tend to be removed or changed on the domain controller every once in a while. Does anyone have some pointers for me how to do this hassle-free? I already searched OTN forums and Metalink, but simply drowned in irrelevant results... What I suppose that should be done: - Give all system grants from the former owner of the binaries to the new service user. - Grant full access on everything in all ORACLE_HOMEs to the new service user. - Test: Log on as the new service user, start/stop DB and/or Listener, ... - But why does this sound way too easy to me? ;-) Have a nice weekend, Uwe http://oraculix.blogspot.com/ (German) -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
