Re: SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)

NTS is the default value for this parameter, it was not changed by the server changes that were made.

NTS means that Oracle can rely on NT native authentication. When this is set, a member of the ORA_DBA group can log in to Oracle as SYSDBA without a password. A setting of NONE means that Oracle relies on a valid username & password being supplied.

As to why the NT native authentication piece failed when the domain changed, that would require more NT admin knowledge than I've got.
