Domenic,

> run as domain admin ...

I certainly wasn't advocating that response. What I meant to get across it the difference between the scope of local and domain accounts, and of the localsystem account.

It is higly likely that others have already encountered and solved this problem, maybe in comp.databases.oracle.server, maybe in Metalink Forums, maybe via TARs.

Since you have a metalink account, I'd search there.

Sorry that I can't help, but I'm having fun (not really) with execution paths changing greatly between 8.1.7 and 9.2, and it ain't in testing ...
