Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Problem authenticating OS user as DBA even after granting DBA role
hi everyone,
i recently tried installing Oracle 8i database server on my system
Windows 2000 Pro + P-III1.13Ghz + Intel815chipset. Installed as System
Administrator (i.e. gave the DBA privileges to my Administrator
account), but the problem is that when i issue -> sqlplus "/ AS Sysdba"
at the command prompt it says insufficient privileges. My motherboard
doesn't have a LAN card (i don't know if that may be a concern) but
when i tried to install the server on a Windows 2000 machine at my
office with the LAN card disabled (in an attempt to make it seem like a
standalone machine) it ran successfully and readily allowed the system
Administrator account as a DBA to login without a username/password. i
can't figure out where something is going wrong on my home pc.
Please give me your feedback and insight regarding any known issues
with Oracle 8i, LAN card or Pentium III processors. For any suggestions
with regards to a successful workaround for installing and running the
database with OS authenticated DBA feel free to mail me.
thanks,
rishi.
