RE: Reading network share oracle on windows

1.) Was the J:\ drive mounted BEFORE the database was brought online? 2.) Reading network shares by the Oracle instance requires the drives to be mounted by the system and not by a user account. There's a couple of ways around this. One is to use AutoEXNT.exe and run a script to mount the drives as a SYSTEM SERVICE.

However, I thought in 11g there was a way to read UNC paths but not sure if that works for archive log destinations.

11g on windows 2008. Oracle is running as an admin account. From sqlplus same account can spool a file successfully. Does anyone know what I am missing to set the parameter successfully?

alter system set standby_archive_dest='J:\' *
ERROR at line 1:

ORA-02097: parameter cannot be modified because specified value is invalid
