Vni-2015 error

Question

Hello,
When I submit jobs under OMS, for example, the full export of a database, it fails with the vni-2015 error. I describe underneath, the steps made.
OS:Windows XP Pro Version 2002 SP1
Database : Oracle 9i 9.2.0.1.0
I opened a windows session locally as the user "TEST". He belongs to "Administrators" and "ORA_DBA" groups.
I defined a database for the Management Server. While the database is open, I started at first, Oracle Intelligent Agent and then OMS as services.
Connecting to OMS for the first time as sysman/oem_temp, I added a user "TEST" with the following privileges : login as a batch job, access to system events. The password of this user corresponds to that of the OS user.
For each and every database, identified by OMS, the connections are established as sys with the role sysdba. The connection to the thread is made as "TEST".
The user is authorised to access all of the databases, the thread and the listener too.
I don't know where I went wrong. I am roaming around this problem since yesterday. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards.

As I went through the logs, I read this in "nmiconf.txt".

As I searched for solutions on the web, I found a message from Nabila Mekkaoui asking to delete the file 'emddiscover.tcl' referenced in nmiconf.lst. I did so and thus the intelligent agent runs correctly ( verified via agentctl utility ). But the same error arises when I submit jobs via the Management Server.

Hello,
I have the very same problem:
OMS is running, the listener is running, the services are running.
In OMS I specified the local administrator (who always has the right to log on as a batch job) for the node-ID credentials and the sysdba-database user for the database.
Yet I always get the error
VNI-2015 : The Node preferred credentials for the target node are either invalid
or do not have sufficient privileges to complete the operation.
On Windows platforms, the Node credentials specified for the Windows target
should have the "Logon as a batch job" privilege.
I also tried with another user whom I specificly gave the right to log on as batch job.
Still, the VNI-2015 error persists.
What is wrong here? Oracle immedieatly lets the job fail. It is checking very quickly the credentials somewhere and immediately puts the job into the job history with the above message.
Someone from Ooracle should know?
On the node I tried to specify the user with
Administrator
instead of
servername\administrator
Then the job fails without any error message, just absolutely no output.
This problem persists for weeks now.
Any hint is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely
Andreas
