<opinion> This is the biggest reason why people badmouth Windows for use with Oracle. You install Citrix MetaFrame on the same server as you run Oracle Database Server? Get real. You probably have IIS, RRAS, IPSec, numerous file serving clients, Terminal Services configured as an app server (not remote administration) also. Its probably either a domain controller of Active Directory Server too. Disable all of that crap, and just run Oracle on it. Better yet, remove it from your domain and disable NetBIOS, disable the server service. Use good hardware and good drivers and you will have no BSODs. What business requirements does it serve to have all sorts of non-oracle services running (misconfigured, open) on an Oracle/Windows box ... that serve only to leave holes and consume resources? Windows 2003 Server is a great start towards having most services secured or disabled by default. It still needs to be configured and maintained by a competent admin (loaded string there). My Oracle/Linux box here is just running an oracle instance, ssh, apache (over SSL) and Xserver only on loopback. No ftp, samba, nfs, etc. The TNS listener is only running on loopback. Enable only the services that you require, whether its *nix or win. </opinion> Paul --- "Jesse, Rich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Citrix Metaframe, rdesktop, and TightVNC help a > bunch, too. :) > > Rich > > Rich Jesse System/Database > Administrator > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quad/Tech Inc, > Sussex, WI USA > > > -----Original Message----- > Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 8:59 AM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > > > True, but some of use linux to manage those > databaeses on MS. > > On Tue, 2004-01-06 at 04:44, Mercadante, Thomas F > wrote: > > Now now all you MS bigots.
