Cannot open the Windows NT Service Control Manager.

This is the most common error that we face in using oracle "oradim" utility from command line:

DIM-00014: Cannot open the Windows NT Service Control Manager.

O/S-Error: (OS 5) Access is denied.

Solution:

This is just an administrator priviledge/right's issue.

Start the command line "cmd.exe" by right click and Run as Administrator.
