Oracle 9i/W2K, starting db under different user account

Hi,

I am trying to get full admin functionality on my Oracle instance with a local admin account.

When I logon as a domain user with local admin rights (ACCOUNTA) on that W2K box, I get "insufficient privileges".

Oracle was installed using a domain admin account (ACCOUNTB) and I can start it fine whe I am logged on with that.

Basically, I am running "SQLPLUS /nolog", the entering the following:

connect sys/database1 as sysdba
startup

at which point it returns "insufficient privileges".

The "domain user/local admin" account (ACCOUNTA) is a member of the ORA_DBA group on the local server, and in fact, I have created a domain group called "Oracle admins", added the "domain user/local admin" account to it, and added the group to the ORA_DBA group.

I have also looked in SQLNET.ORA and the line says:

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS) So, not sure what else I need to change to get that W2KAD account to be able to start the database.

BTW, the Oracle services are running using the localsystem account...
