Windows 2003 R2 Server hangs when starting Oracle 9.2 service

Hi,
I've been having an error with an Oracle 9.2.0.7 installation where the server will hang to the point where it needs to be powered off as it is completely unresponsive. It hangs when I start the Oracle service.
I've tried installing the system from scratch a few times(OS, OS patches, Oracle 9.2, Oracle 9.2.0.7 Patch set, Database) a few times however I keep having this same issue issue. I had the system running properly up until yesterday and I thought the issue was SP2 for Windows 2003 as I didn't patch the OS before installing everything however it is happening again now.
The listener is started and I can't even connect to an Idle instance through SQLPlus when this happens. I just get a TNS Listener error which I will list below. SInce this keeps happening, I'm wondering if it may be a hardware issue (Installed on an HP ML350) but I'm also wondering if it may be SP2 for WIndows 2003 server and was wondering if anyone else has seen this issue. I havne't found anything in the forum nor on Google so I thought I'd post here.
Here are the last entries in the DB log when it hangs;
ARC1: Archival started

Hi,
Since the server locks up when the service is starting, it's hard to determine how high it gets but after it starts, it quickly gets up to around 277MB and just stays there.
I was thinking it may be a memory issue as well as it displays the symptoms of a "light speed" memory leak. I had 4GB of memory in the server and realized that WIndows 2003 only saw 3.5GB so I decided to remove 1 GB but that didn't make a difference.
How would I go about ensuring that the memory consumption on my DB server does not get swapped much?

Oracle ODBC Driver (Windows 2003 x64 Server)

Hi all
I have some trouble with this ODBC Driver ...
I have installed Oracle Client 10.2.0.1.0 with the ODBC Driver and SQLplus etc.
Now I have configured in the "Net Manager" some "Service Naming" as I did
on other servers before. Then I Test the connection in the "Net Manager" it
seams to work fine.
When I now try to connect in SQL Plus the following error comes up:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
I did already do this:
- Add "...\NETWORK\ADMIN" to the Path Variable of the server
- sqlnet.ora looks like:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)
- tnsnames.ora looks like:
MyName.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myDomain.net)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = DBSIDxx)
What do I have to do to get this working ???
Thanks for any comments!
Best regards
Frank Uray

Nevermind, I think I'm to assume that this is the same as:

Firefox hangs when starting, Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". (was: Firefox crashes)

Firefox hangs when starting, during session restore. Uninstalled then installed new Firefix. Same problem. Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". It just hangs, won;t display even one page. What to do? Tried -safe-mode, smae result.

I keep too many tabs open and whilst trying to download a pdf file Firefox 8.01 hung and when I restarted it the Embarrassing page opened. I knew which tab I needed to delete but as soon as I tried to navigate to the errant tab it said "Not Responding" and nothing I could do would make it respond. I tried command line opening in safe mode and the same thing happened.
I have read the other posts but cannot send a crash dump as it is "Not Responding" and does not get far enough to crash.

Is is possible to add Windows 6 64-bit drivers to a Windows 2003 print server?

We are having some trouble figuring a way in which to support network printing for Windows 7 64-bit machines that we are starting to intermittently put out in what, as of this moment, is still primarily a native XP 32-bit environment. Our concern has been that, if we replace the drivers on the print server to the Windows 7 64-bit drivers, then the XP machines will then pull down those drivers and then not be able to print any longer. According to Microsoft, the way around this is to utilize the "Additional Drivers" area within the properites of the printer. From there, in theory, you can add a new driver that uses "x64" as the print processor. However, when we attempted to do this on our legacy Windows 2003 print server (which I believe to be 32-bit) we noticed that, in the "version area" of the selection for the x64 print processor, Windows 7 is not listed. We then receive the following error message after we attempt to go forward and add the driver. . .
-Selected printer driver not found
The specified location does not contain the driver HP LaserJet 4050 Series PCL6 for the requested processor architecture
It looks to me that the problem is in that the server is Windows 2003 and we are attempting to make Windows 7 drivers work within that framework. Can someone please confirm this suspician or instruct us further?
Thanks,
-Brian McKnight

Gotcha!!
I am done with mounting a secondary HDD (thanks to ifixit) and installing Windows 8 Pro 64 bit on it without a worry. Charm, charm!!
Boot Camp 5 guide prescribes all needed steps and when read and used correctly, installation must be an easy task. And all the existing apple hardwares work so good in the Windows environment too.
I am going to help out a friend of mine in doing a similar thing on his mac too. If you got specific questions, please do shoot up here and i should be able to get a reply to it (if at all).
Thanks everyone.

Locked files using a Windows 2003 File Server with Mac 10.6 clients running CS5

We migrated 40 Mac users from OS X 10.5/CS3 to OS X 10.6/CS5 back in November. Our InDesign files are kept on a Windows 2003 file server.
We have had fairly constant complaints of InDesign and Photoshop files being reported as locked when users try to save their work back to the server. This did not occur as frequently with CS3.
Has anyone else had this issue?

I'd suggest starting with iFelix's Sharing files between a Windows XP PC and a Mac running OS 10.4.x

SGA_TARGET SIZE 3GB in 10g Release 2 server on windows 2003 E Server?

Is it possible to increase the SGA_TARGET greater than 3 GB on Windows 2003 Enterprise server(32-bit)?
OS version : Microsoft Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition
Service Pack 2
Bit Version : 32 bit
Computer(SERVER) : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.60GHz
3.59GHz, 15.5 GB RAM
Physical Address Extension
DataBase Version : Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0)

hi,
As suggested earlier , please go through following notes as it will help you understand the concepts clearly
Note:342080.1. This note talks in detail on how to use more than 4GB RAM on Windows.
Note:225349.1 Implementing Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) or VLM on Windows Platforms
You can not set SGA_TARGET greater then 2.7 G on windows 32 bit machine. Yes , you can have SGA greater then 3 Gb but by using AWE which requires to unset SGA_TARGET and use db_block_buffers instead of db_cache_size.

PS Hangs When Starting

PS hangs when starting by clicking icon on Windows 8.1 Pro Taskbar: Grayed Welcome screen with nothing clickable. If open any image any format only one layer called "Index" is locked and cannot unlock. Under Layer menu only one submenu available and that is "Layer Style..." and when that is hovered only one option is available and that is "Global Light..."
Is this some psycho religious fanatic virus? What is going on?

Maybe a Preferences reset will clear it up.
Start Photoshop and very quickly hold down Ctrl-Alt-Shift. When the "Delete Photoshop Settings File" dialog appears, release those keys and click "yes" and let Photoshop finish loading.
You have to be quick with those keys, so it may take a few tries.

SAP system hang when start the addon.

Dear Expert,
I just upgrade one of the SAP B1 server from 2007A to SAP B1 8.8 PL15, everything going smooth both server and clients.
Except one client (new laptop with Win 7 Pro x86), this laptop fail to start the addon.
Others clients with same specs Win 7 Pro have no problem to start addon.
Addon started manually.
After click start button for that addon, the system hang. If without the addon system working fine.
If anyone have ideas to check much appreciate and thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mat

Hi Bala,
I did try your steps, but no luck. System still hang when start the addon.
But, I can start SAP addon , example i try Screen Painter, and can start successfully. Only our addon cannot start.
I'm not suspect our addon because others client working smooth, even the server also working fine.
I did re-install DIAPI, even re-install SAP client a few time, but still fail to start addon (delete SAP client folder before install).
Any one face this problem?
Regards,
mat

CA and Certificate Issue in ACS 4.0 For Windows 2003 Enterprise Server

Hi,
I have configured Microsoft CA server on the same ACS 4.0 for Windows 2003 enterprise server which was configured earlier using the self generated certificates for EAP and PEAP authentications.
After I change the certificate from self generated to the new CA certificate that can be viewed under install ACS certificate option on ACS server but having the following problems
1. SSL is not functioning while internet browser access to the ACS server and going through http instead of https.
2. Wireless clients are authenticated successfully even after the certificate is uninstalled.
Any help on these problems will be appreciated.
Thanks
Best Regards,
Ahmed

Hi Rohit,
Thanks for reminding the HTTPS option under Administration Control on ACS.
I have some doubts pertaining to installation of certificates on Wireless clients though it is optional for Self Generated Certificates but what in case of Mirosoft CA as I tested wireless client authentications even after removing the certificate from microsoft supplicant WindowsXP SP2 having installed the patch KB885453 for PEAP. How the certificate on wireless client works.
Is it mandatory or optional to keep certificate on Wireless Clients as they could able to get authenticated through ACS after removing the certificate.
Thanks
Best Regards,
Ahmed

Windows 2003 Terminal Server, ZEN 7, and WSUS

Hi,
We're having a problem getting a group policy to "Stick" in Windows 2003
terminal server. The server(s) have the ZEN 7.01 agent installed per
the TID's for a terminal server. We believe we've set all the Group
Policies of the users that login to these systems, yet once they are
rebooted, the WSUS update server location resets to the default
(update.microsoft.com). This is set in gpedit in:
\computer configuration\administrative templates\Windows
Components\Windows Update
Is this settable in a user package, or should this be done in a
workstation package? If so, could we "force" the workstation package to
override the Windows Update settings for all users, regardless of what
user policy package they have?
Thanks for any ideas!
Greg

In the Properties of the WS Group Policy, there is an option to set "Loop
Back" so that the Computer GPO is set last.

I dream of running Dreamweaver on a Windows 2003 Terminal Server

I have a "volume" license and attempted to install Dreamweaver CS4 on a Windows 2003 Terminal Server. I get an error message right away indicating that the system does not meet the minimum install requirements, ie XP/Vista.
Adobe volume licensing team verified that it is the correct license for installing on a terminal server, but after one hour of what would a bad nightmare with adobe "no" support (Outsourcing issue, failure to grasp and process the basic error message) I got no where and am having to resort to the forums. I have googled on this and got no where and nothing on the search efforts on this site.
If anyone has an idea of what is going on, bug, wrong install media, please clue me in.
Thanks!

pziecina
Thanks for the information. We do have AppV here and tried that approach. While this gets us past the install minimum requirements, it does not resolve the issue of running of more than one instance at a time, per terminal server, even though our volume license allows for it.

RAC hangs when starting or stopping 2nd instance of 2 node RAC

Has anyone seen the problem with all transactions and/or logins hanging when starting or stopping the 2nd node of a 2 node RAC database. When I shut down the 2nd instance using srvctl I occasionally get errors and long delays connecting. On our larger database with instances having a very large SGAs, trying to connect you sometimes get ORA-12537 or ORA-01033. Users experience a very long hang before getting the errors. These instances have very large SGAs of about 30GB on each node.
In the log of the first instance we see messages like the following for quite a while.

Thanks in advance.

I have tested with only one node and starting and stopping is much faster without any cache fusion traffic. The application is not RAC aware, it was written without regard for RAC. As you say there may be some accessing of the same block by all nodes causing RAC to remaster blocks when a node is shut down.
My concern is the length of time users are afftected when I am starting a node that has been offline for a while. With the large SGA I have, it appears users are affected adversely for several minutes, in affect causing an outage which we are trying to avoid by using RAC.
