RE: Oracle Instances not starting up via services
Hi, my experience: 1. It is not possible to start instance through Terminal Services - svrmgrl produces ORA-12560 error. Terminal Services are not true terminal. I use Netmeeting - sharing desktop feature. 2. To start instance automaticaly after reboot I add local user NT Autority\system to the ORA_DBA user group 3. On Metalink is another recommendation - in SQLNET.ORA change QLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= none - but than you have to type password when connecting as SYS.

RE: Oracle Instances not starting up via services
You cant start up services when logged in using MTSC and connect internal (bequeath) because you are running in a different memory space to the server code. You have to do it on the console unless you are connecting sysdba via the listener.

Re: Oracle Instances not starting up via services
Check the registry entry ORA_SID_PFILE. Try hardcoding the entire path rather than use variables. ie. ORA_WMS_PFILE would be set to c:\oracle\ora81\database\initwms.ora.
