Goal

How to create new instance manually using the oradim tool, with a user that is not the oracle Software owner ?

Solution

Trying to create a new instance using the oradim tool with a user that is not the oracle software owner

will fail with the following OS error :

DIM-00014: Cannot open the Windows NT Service Control Manager
O/S-Error: (OS 5) Access is denied.

This is because of the newly introduced OS feature User Account Control (UAC), a new security component in Windows Vista .

To workaround the issue either :

1.   Disable the User Account Control (UAC)  security component .

OR

2.   Go to Start -> Accessories ->  Right click on Command Prompt

and select "Run as Administrator".

to start the command prompt where oradim will be issued .

 

NOTE : This also applies to Windows 7 and Windows 2008 .
