Lisa,
Got bit by this first time out of the box with W2K. I don't have access to PCAnywhere, so I had to do the install from the console. I have however created a ton of .bat files that perform various functions that I can execute from Terminal Services. I found it necessary to use sqlplus with the 'connect as' string, but it gets me in just fine. If I don't have the script do something completely (backup, startup, shutdown, analyze, etc), I have a generic one that pops up a DOS Prompt screen and puts me at the SQL> prompt with sysdba privileges. Here's how I've done it (Perl is still on my list Jared): First file is login.bat set ORACLE_SID=<SID> <---- These are just for good measure, Registry and Environment SHOULD suffice, but it's Windoze set ORACLE_HOME=F:\oracle\ora81 sqlplus /nolog @F:\oracle\admin\system_scripts\sysconnect.sql exit Next file is sysconnect.sql connect sys/<password>@<SID> as sysdba That's it. Go in through terminal services, run login.bat, and you're home free. Everything else follows. Hope this helps. David A.

Oracle Installation, sqlplus, svrmgrl through Terminal Server Client do not work. I used PC Anywhere, everything went fine.

Is anyone running 8.1.7 EE on W2k? I am trying to start the database (and the listener, for that matter) via Terminal Server and it keeps erring out with ORA-12560 protocol adapter error. I look on Metalink and it just plain says, Go to the console. WHAT? Are you KIDDING! Here's the note: * fact: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition * fact: RDBMS * fact: MS Windows 2000 * fact: MS Windows NT * symptom: Cannot connect to SVRMGRL * symptom: ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error * symptom: Cannot connect to SVRMGR30 * symptom: ORA-12203: TNS:unable to connect to destination * cause: Bequeath protocol is not supported with Microsoft Terminal Server Client. ORA-12203 is seen on Oracle 8.0.6. ORA-12560 is seen on Oracle8i. fix: Connecting to SVRMGRL is done by using the BEQUEATH protocol which is not available using an MS Windows 2000 Terminal Server Client. To startup the instance, use the the Windows 2000 console to connect to the SVRMGRL. I can do this with W2k, Terminal Server and Standard Edition. Has anyone else seen this ? I am so irked I could scream. (But it could be the hormones). Lisa Koivu Oracle Database Monkey.
