Solution

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.
