SYSMAN is open.  DBSNMP is locked when I get the email saying that is it 
locked.  I have tried unlocking it and it just gets locked again.  I am 
assuming that the dbconsole process is still trying to use the old password.  
(Yes, I have verified that I can log on manually with the new password.).

Thanks,

Shot in the dark...

Have you checked the account_status in dba_users for dbsnmp and/or sysman?   I 
have had troubles with 11g and the new password policy locking accounts that I 
wish it hadn't.  :)

Command to unlock is: alter user <username> account unlock;

Hth,

This is Oracle 11.1.0.7.0 on Windows Server 2003 (32 bit).

I changed the password for DBSNMP.  Now I am trying to tell the dbconsole agent 
to use the new password.  This is what I did:

1.  set oracle_sid= <my sid>

2.  emctl status dbconsole says "Enterprise manager is running".

3.  emctl stop dbconsole  -> "The OracleDBConsole<sid> service is not started".

4.  Change the password in <ORACLE_HOME>\...\sysman\emd\targets.xml and change 
ENCRYPTED="FALSE".

5.  emctl start dbconsole -> "... service could not be started".

I should note, that I just installed the grid control agent on this server in 
case that makes a difference.

It looks like the console is running because it keeps sending me emails saying 
that the account is locked.  Also, the log files are locked so I cannot find 
out why I can neither start nor stop the process.

What step am I missing here to implement the password change?

Thanks,
Peter Schauss
