   I'm posting this in hopes that it will help a few folks out when the search   
   Google Groups.   
      
   I was having the following problems with Oracle 10G:   
   1. When installing the database, the net config assistant would fail and I   
   would end up with no listener. Furthermore, I couldn't run Net Config to   
   create one.   
   2. I could not start the Network Configuration Assistant after a fresh   
   install of the 10G client on a workstation.   
      
   Problem:   
   It would appear that the Net Config tool checks to verify that your user   
   account is explicitly listed in the local Administrators group. In all   
   instances, I was logged in with a domain administrator account and Domain   
   Admins is listed in the local Administrators group. It seems Oracle is   
   checking for a name in a list rather than the effective administrative   
   permissions.   
      
   Resolution:   
   My findings are that even if you are a domain administrator, you must add   
   your individual domain user account to the local Administrators group on the   
   machine where you are configuring either the Oracle 10G database or client.   
      
   I also ran into problems with OracleCSService and I received some CRS error   
   during database installation. I'm not sure if this is related. I ignored   
   these issues since I didn't install in a clustered environment.
