Methinks NT version 5 is Windows2000 under another name... probably a typo though.
Check the certification matrix, but here we are successfully running 8.1.7.4.5. on Windows2000 servers. Windows2000 seems to be more stable than NT 4, from what I've seen so far. Our Windows server administrator certainly things so! There are caveats re. Terminal Server though, check the certification matrix.

I am on Unix myself, so of no help to you. My laptop was recently upgraded from NT to 2000 Professional, and the PC administrators said that their experience was to not upgrade the system, but to reformat the hard drive, fresh install Windows 2000 and then reinstall everything. I think your existing Oracle software should be good to reinstall, but you should check the compatibility on http://metalink.oracle.com. And of course you will be doing this on your test machine before you jeopardize your production system. You don't say which 8.1.7 version you are using - 8.1.7.4?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, November 29, 2002 7:04 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi We are currently running Oracle 817 database on a Windows NT, version 5, service pack 6. We need to upgrade O/S to Windows 2000. What should we do on the database side, do we need to do a new Oracle 817 software installation after upgrading O/S and try to startup the database or do we need to do everything from scratch, i.e. install software, create database and import ? I tought this should not have an effect on the database, if that the case, do we then need to just try to startup the database after O/S upgrade ? Please help ...your response will be highly appreciated.
