That's wrong, at least for NT server. I have to give the user "internal" a password. After that I can connect with Oracle Instance Manager to the database and startup and shutdown.
If I give the user "internal" on a AIX machine a password, I even can connect without password directly at the server (svrmgr), but I can use the user "internal" with password to connect remote with OIM. I'm tried to startup and shutdown AIX databases with user sys, but I can't. That's the reason, because I use the "internal".

I think, both user "sys" and "internal" are different. At my area, they have different passwords. -> ??
