Hi Paul,
I believe you are correct on all counts. I have not used RMAN on NT, but if it will handle UNCs that might be the way to go. I believe that the local system account runs with the profile of the .Default user. If you could get the drive map into that profile that might work for you also. Beth -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 6:48 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L A couple of basic questions, if you'll indulge me: 1. Does the Oracle service on Win2K run in the security domain of its login user (LocalSys)? 2. If so, would that explain why RMAN can't write to a network drive that's mapped by a different user who is logged in to the domain rather than the local machine? Side question: Am I correct in my belief that the Oracle service must be running before an Oracle instance can start, and that it keeps running even when the instance is shut down? Many TIA.
