In Windows Server 2012. How do I do a System Restore to a previous restore point?
I need to install the 64 bit and 32 bit Oracle Client Install for connections in SSIS and to create Oracle Linked Servers.
If you make a mistake it is not fun removing it. Sometimes it corrupts the machine and it is difficult to uninstall since there is not an Oracle Universal installer for Oracle 11g.
If you install the 32 bit before the 64 you mess up the machine.
So if someone knows how to create a restore point that would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

If your server is a Virtual Machine perhaps a VM Snapshot would be useful.

Right on. That is what I wanted but I do not have permissions...

Thanks.

Then work with those that have them because VM snapshots are the way to go.
