11g R2 wont work under windows 2008 R2 doesnt support UTC, and cant change.

I posted this in error under general, and got no responses. So now Im cutting and pasting it into installation, in a last ditched attemtp to find a way to get a clean installation of oralce on a clean installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 working.
Problem:
1) cannt connect to oracle outside of box. Get "TNS Connection timeout occured"
2) em console "Sepecify Host and Target Database Credentials" always says "Connection refused: connect", even though the OS user/pass and DB user/pass are correct.
What does work:
1) I can "select * from dual" using "sqlplus / as sysdba" from the commandline on the box itself.
2) Once, before I got em console half working, I could connect to the DB from outside the box with SYS as SYSDBA using toad. Now I cant.
How I installed it:
1) created a user called "oracle" and put them in the Administrators group.
2) ran the downloaded installer for enterprise version, partition option chosen, AL32UTF8 char set, global db name: orcl, sid: orcl, "Assert all new security settings on" (No idea what this is) etc.
3) at the end of the installer it came up with the following error:
"Set the environment variable ORACLE_UNQNAME to the database unique name"
3.5) opened up the incomming connections in the windows FW for 1158 and 1521 TCP from all.
4) set ORACLE_UNQNAME as a system env var for oracle as "orcl"
5) set ORACLE_HOME to c:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0 (or should this be c:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1 ??)
6) set ORACLE_SID to orcl
7) set ORACLE_HOST to dilbert (the machine name)
Rebooted.
8) logged into em console on https:
dilbert:1158 (works from inside or outside the box).
9) Entered the oracle windows user userame & pass, and SYS and pass (with connect as SYSDBA). However, it always says "Connectoin refused: connect"
Im not using a domain. computer name is correctly setup as "dilbert" in the OS.
I cant think of anything to try, and dont know how to start debugging this problem.
If I look at the running services, i see:
OracleDBConsolorcl Stopped
OracleJobSchedulerORCL Stopped
OracleMTSRecoveryService Stopped
OracleOraDb11g_home1CLRAgent stopped
OracleORADb11g_home1TNSListener Stopped
OracleServiceORCL Running
OrclVssWriterORCL Stopped
nd if i try and start those services as oracle (who is in the Administrators group) it says "The operation could not be completed. Access is denied". If I run task manager as Administrator, I can start all of them except for the TNSListener which doesnt do anything, you say start, and it stays stopped. No errors, now warnings. and the JobSchedulreORCL which says no associated devices.
HAving manually started some of the services (no idea if you are supposed to do that, cant find any installation documentation which covers before/after running the installer), when I try and specify the host and target database credentials in em console, it says:
Validation Error
Please correct the following error:
dbUserPassword - This field must be specified
However, the DB password for SYS IS specified and correct - so I have no way to fix this.
I cant find anyinformatin online where to look for log files, but there is nothing in sysman\log
Now em console is saying "Conection refused" again, and the following process have killed themselves (as will I soon)
OracleDBConsolercl Stoppped
The others which I succeded in starting are still running. So TNSListener nor jobscheduler will start, and Consolerocl kills itself after a minute.
Well, looks like I'm on my own on this one. Oracle will not intall on windows, and none seems to have noticed. Doing a day of googling reveals that all the log files which are supposed to live in sysman/log do not exist in this installation, so no help there.
However, I did find an obscure log which says:
The agentTZRegion value in C:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\wario_orcl/sysman/config/emd.properties is not in agreement with what agent thinks it should be.Please verify your environment to make sure that TZ setting has not changed since the last start of the agent.
The TZ of the windows server is set to "UTC" at long time ago. There is nothing in the oralce windows installation guide to say "Do not use UTC, the most comon server time zone in europe". There is no mention of supported windows timezones.
Now if Oracle doesnt support basic UTC, then we are all in trouble.
There are hundreds of articles with this problem and how to solve it on Unix, but almost none for Windows. Do we have to solve Oracle installation bugs ourselves? Is there no support?
Doing the below reveals that Oracle thinks that UTC is America/Rio_Branco. That HAS to be a bug.
C:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN>emctl config agent getTZ
Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control Release 11.2.0.1.0
Copyright (c) 1996, 2010 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Unable to open file for logging. C:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1/wario_orc
l/sysman/log/emctl.log: Permission denied
America/Rio_Branco
So what next?
The list of "supported" timezones in supportedtzs.list only lists UNIX timezones, and NO UTC!!!!!
Googling this turns up nothing - noone on the planet seems to use UTC on their servers. I find this absolutely shocking.
Windows server ONLY users UTC - it doesnt support GMT any more.
So I have to now randomly try timezones in Windows which I dont want, which will be different from all the other servers in the Datacenter. It means all our reports will be out by 1 hour in summer ifI have to chose a timzeone which has daylight savings, compared with all the other databases which are UTC (not daylight savings).
I would expect this from freeware maintained by one person in his garage.
It seems that this Timezone issue emans Oracle will not run on windows.
Tried a lot of things, including setting the timzeonse in windows to be "(UTC) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London", which unfortuantely is not UTC (as it is affected by daylight savings).
When you run
"emctl config agent getTZ"
you get:
"Europe/London"
The only oracle documentation I can find on this subject tells you to edit the emd.properties, and modify the agentTZRegion property, which doesnt exist.
I tried the following command:
"c:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN>emctl resetTZ agent"
Which tells you to execute:
SQL> exec mgmt_target.set_agent_tzrgn('wario:3938','Europe/London')
SQL> commit
However, when I do this, I get:
SQL> exec mgmt_target.set_agent_tzrgn('wario:3938','Europe/London')
BEGIN mgmt_target.set_agent_tzrgn('wario:3938','Europe/London'); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20233: Invalid agent name wario:3938
ORA-06512: at "SYSMAN.MGMT_TARGET", line 3811
ORA-06512: at line 1
Great. Obviosly, Im loggin in as SYS as no other users have been setup, and certainly I have not seen nor created nor set the password for "em repository user".

System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog not working under Windows 2008 R2 Server

I am using Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) that is been virtualized with Hyper-V and it is being used as a "Remote Desktop Server".
I am trying to use this PowerShell code that will open a "Save-File-Dialog" box to select the PDF file and send it to my "batch" file for scanning. This code works great on my Windows Vista machine and my Windows 7 32-bit machine
but I cannot get it to work on the "Windows 2008 R2 Server (64-bit)". It will not come up with any window at all and it will not produce any errors at all, so I can't exactly google for this issue. I am using PowerShell 2.0 from 2009.
Any ideas? I tried it from an Admin account and a regular domain users and neither worked at all, no errors, no window, no nothing.
*** Update ***
    I took Out-Null out and I received this...
GAC    Version        Location
True   v2.0.50727     C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Windows.Forms\2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089\System.Windows.Forms.dll
I then checked the path and the DLL file was in there and it had read and execute permissions for Domain users and Administrators and the window still won't pop up...
Here is the entire code in question.....
# Uses the dot net assembly to give the users a Save-File-Dialog box so they can decide where to put the pdf file
Function Get-SaveFile($initialDirectory){
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.windows.forms") | Out-Null
$SaveFileDialog = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog
$SaveFileDialog.initialDirectory = $initialDirectory
$SaveFileDialog.filter = "PDF files (*.pdf)| *.pdf"
$SaveFileDialog.ShowDialog() | Out-Null
$SaveFileDialog.filename
# open dialog box to select the .nessuss file.
$OutputFile = Get-SaveFile
# User selected where they want to put the scanned.pdf file and it will automatically set it to .pdf for them
start-process Scan $OutputFile

I ran the code you have in your function on a Windows 2008 Standard server, and it seems to be hanging on the line
$SaveFileDialog.ShowDialog()
| Out-Null
It just sits there and nothing happens, but if I run it on my Windows 7 machines, it runs without any issues. So it seems like the dialog opened, but behind the scenes, and is waiting on the user, but since it doesn't open, the user can't do anything.

Don't Retire Technet

My itunes wont work in WIndows 7. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but it doesnt' work. It consistently won't open, freezes, or opens and will play songs but only comes up as the shape of itunes in a kinda see thru box. Any tips?

My itunes won't work on my Windows 7 anymore. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled SEVERAL times, but to no avail. It consistantly freezes, won't open or doesn't work correctly. The only way I can get it to close anymore is to go to the task manager and 'end process' itunes. I do get an error at the beginning saying " the registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install itunes." I have searched the internet for possible fixes to no avail. Please help...anyone!

Lets see whether this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?

Oracle 11 under Windows 2008 installation problems

I cannot make Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 work under Windows 2008. The server's host name is SARABI. Anything of the following takes place on SARABI, no remote access is involved.
The procedure has been as follows...
- Windows 2008 was installed
- Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 was installed
- listener.ora, sqlnet.ora, tnsnames.ora were modified
- no other Oracle configuration file was touched
At this point it worked. I could connect with SQL Plus and with SQL Developer.
Next the server was rebooted. Without having changed anything at all, connecting was impossible. The message is "12514, TNS, listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor". The three configuration files are given below.
Currently, all services are running accoording to Windows Control Panel. There are no entries in the eventlog. Executing "TNSPING SARABI" works fine. Executing "LSNRCTL status" shows "The listener does not support any services" (translated from German "Der Listener unterstützt keine Services"), the full output is given below.

Deleting the three configuration files and recreating them with "Net Manager" gives...

After rebooting the server, the same problems appear. Executing "sqlplus SYS/**** AS SYSDBA" gives "database not started". Then executing startup gives...

Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Services, ODBC and Oracle 10.2.0.5 32-bit client

Hi All,
I am setting up an application to work under windows 2008 R2 terminal services/Citrix XenApp which is 32bit. This application uses ODBC connections and not relying directly on TNSName for connection resolution.
I installed 10.2.0.3 and patched to 10.2.0.5, and when trying to create an ODBC connection I only see "junk" in the connections list for TNS Server Name without regard to what exists in the TNSNAME.ORA file.
We have JDE on the same server which uses TNSNAMES and work fine, so I don't think it is Oracle client related directly, but I've not seen this before.
Has anyone seen this before and know how to resolve?
Geoff

Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard RF-BTKB2 not working under Windows 7 64 bit

Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard RF-BTKB2 not working under Windows 7 64 bit
Anyone had successs in this or another Bluetooth Keyboard after a bit of a struggle? What did you do to get it working? When I Add Device in Bluetooth it sees the keyboard but enlessly scans for it when I try to select and connect. The Rocketfish Bluetooth mouse worked just fine.

My friend, i have both, the bluetooth mouse and keyboard here that your talking about. and the keyboard was a struggle to pair with the windows 7 64 bit.... i think i spent 2 days working with it. and i didnt try anything special, i just kept trying to pair
it, and unplugging the dongle and working with it... and after a while. it worked... Lately though, i have been looking into getting a wired mouse and keyboard becuase of the delays and sleep time i have with my current keyboard(rocketfish). supposidly there
is a way around the delays but it disables all the options on your keyboard. IE the media buttons, and web browsing features. and my mouse keeps dieing off too....
Also, after researching these products more, i found that alot of people experienced similar problems with them, Being delays and mouse failure. Even with fresh batteries and all. The products werent meant to be used long term(2-3 years) for extensive use...
I dont know about you but i thinki paid 100 bucks for the pair so thats only 25 bucks a year... Which is kinda silly considering i coulda got a better one that wont cough up on me.
If anyone reading this finds a good wireless keyboard that doesnt delay, and a mouth that doesnt delay...(my biggest concern). Please mention it. i am very interested in.

X230T camera does not work under windows 8

Hi!
Is your camera working under Windows 8?
Mine is not. It used to work some time ago, but even then the driver was instable. Now, since a few weeks, it seems not to work at all anymore. Reinstalling the driver does not help.
This may ba a hardware or a software issue, that's why it is important for me to know if yours is working.
Thanks!

As I wrote, I have tried to reinstall the driver without success.
It should be a hardware problem if you are able to run the camera perfectly. Are you using a 64- or 32-bit OS?
Thanks!

Driver for HP Laserjet 1012 to work under Windows 7- 64 bit

Am trying to install a HP Laserjet 1012 to work under Windows 7- 64 bit and at HP Support, could find drivers for Vista -64-bit only.
I have tried to install this Vista - 64 bit driver and it does not seem to even print a test page.
Is there some other tweak that I need to make or
or
does it mean there will be no driver specifically usable for Win - 7 and I might as well junk the printer?
Thanks in advance.

Hi

Acrobat reader X with thunderbird under windows 2008 server

Hi,
i use acrobat reader X under windows 2008 R2 . My Mailclient is thunderbird.
I get an error when trying to send an E-Mail. "Acrobat could not get a connection to your e-mail programm".
I defined thunderbrid as the standard mailprogramm under START->CONTROLPANEL->STANDARD-PROGRAMMS
I already tried to google the solution, but the only one i found was for Windows VISTA and Windows 7. There, you have not only to define the STANDARDPROGRAMM, you either need to make a change on "default programms and computerstandards" which is missing in windows 2008 R2
Can anyone please tell me how to use acrobat with thunderbrid in a windows 2008 environment????
Thank you

Hi Michael,
sorry for using the wrong forum. I'll post my question to the Reader board ...
To answer your question. That was my idea too, but it is not possible to copy a whole profile. They are a lot of other problems if you do that. I didn't find the settings only. may it would be enough to copy the settings for the reader.
Best Regards,
Markus

If you try to use it, your audio output will be intermittant at best and will crash your audio applications at worst.

I have tryed to install the drivers from the osx cd, but to no avail it just wont work,
Please can anyone help

the reason i ask is base system device can be a few differant things but about 90% of what i have seen it show up is the card reader. try to uninstall anything in device manager that has to do with the mic and restart the laptop. this will allow windows to try to find and install the correct drivers. also open realtek HD audio manager and make sure the mic is not muted.
