In the case of PC based clients you can place the tnsnames.ora file on the
network and via the NT login script set the client OS environment variable
TNS_ADMIN to point to it. This can cut down some of the administration at
least for clients.

Subject: OID setup guide....
Hi all,
I'm looking at ways of getting us away from using tnsnames.ora files. We have way too many servers and clients, and maintenance is going to kill us. So, I think the correct solution is OID. Has anyone (successfully) set up OID? Is there a step-by-step guide? Should I stick w/ 9i or go straight to 10g? I tried running 'oidca' on my test 10g instance, but it kept complaining about a 1/2 dozen command line parameters that I didn't know anything about.
So, I'm not an LDAP expert, and I don't want to be. I just want to centrally administer my database service names. Can anyone offer a clue? I did some MetaLink searching without any luck.
I'm just looking for a basic "do these things in this order, then enter your service names here and do this to make all your clients see the OID service".
Thanks in advance,
-Mark
