thanks again sybrand
I tried to create a usser as suggested
logged into svrmgrl as system
example.
svrmgrl> create user \\abc_win\fred identified externally this produced an error (sorry forgot to write it down. will do so tomorrow Tried again
svrmgrl> create user fred identified externally svrmgrl> statment processed
(granted connect and dba to fred)
created network account and gave domain admin privs

logged onto the server as fred
svrmgrl> connect /@db
svrmgrl> ora:01017 invalid username/password blah .......... I am getting really frustrated
am I missing something here?

p.s
also tried this on a standalone server same problem works great in 7.3.3
svrmgr23> connect /@db
svrmgr23> connected

sorry to be a pain
