RE: 9i OEM agent fails to start on windows

I can imagine this is some windows wierdness but I'm appalled Oracle = support can't fix this for you. What error do you get when you try and = start the service?

Is this thing running in active directory? Under the = service/properties/login is the service running under a local user or = some other user? Are any of these machines domain controllers?

Subject: 9i OEM agent fails to start on windows

I am still looking for answers for this problem.

We have 3 servers. Oracle 9i was installed via same user with same rights in all cases.

Server 1 -

• no existing Oracle install
• installed 9.2.0.5 and agent starts

Server 2 -

• old Oracle Apps 11i server
• installed 9.2.0.5
• agent ran from roughly map to August. Since August it refuses to start. This was not discovered until December so nobody knows what if anything happened to break it.

Server 3 -

• Oracle Apps 11i dev servers
• installed 9.2.0.6
• agent fails to start

In both cases where the 9i agent fails to start, the 8i agent runs great.

There are NOT two nic cards.

Trace indicates agent is trying to talk to 0.0.0.0. Oracle had us remove a tns_admin entry in the registry but same result.

Looking for anything to try next.
