1. Does the Oracle service on Win2K run in the security domain of its login user (LocalSys)?
   1. It runs as SYSTEM by default.
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?
   1. Services running as the SYSTEM user cannot access network drives.

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?

1. The service must be running to start Oracle. The service is actually the VOS portion of Oracle. ( Virtual Operating System - see James Morle's book )

When the instance is shutdown, the service may be stopped, but that is not required.
