Hi All,

We need to run the database as a different user then the "Local
System" account because we need to make backups to an UNC share.
Therefore we have created a domain user that is in the local
administrator group on the windows machine. This user is allowed to
use the UNC share as well.

We run Oracle 10.2.0.5 SE and Windows 2008 RC2 and followed this note
on metalink/oracle support (Doc ID 457363.1).

When starting the database service the database will not mount the
database and stops there. No extra messages in the alert file that
suggest any problem.
When we logon to the windows machine with the same account and connect
to the database we can start it manually (alter database mount/alter
database open) without any problems.

Has anyone run into this problem before and been able to fix this? We
have a SR with oracle but have not gotten any respons yet.

Regards,

Patrick

P.S. Off course running the service as "local system" will start the
database without any problems. And we also change the service of the
listener to run as the same user as the database service.
If you don't you cannot connect to the database via sqlnet.
