[Quoted] I just created a test user on my Windows 2000 Professional laptop. User TEST is defined as a "restricted" user. Subsequently I access Oracle database on the same machine from that user with no problem.

[Quoted] [Quoted] However, I DO get "permission denied" when I try to start/stop database service or listnener from the test user. This is, of course, as it should be.

[Quoted] Other than a hooped install or not having the service & listener running automatically using the installer's userid, the only thing I can think of is you are using Windows 2000 Workstation rather than Professional or Server. (In that case, you should expect to encounter difficulties, as Oracle explicitly did not certify that one.) Received on Sun Jan 04 2004 - 19:52:51 CET
