Oracle Forms HOST command runs with non-admin permissions

Hi guys,

I'm running oracle forms&reports 11g.

using the HOST built-in for printing via GhostScript (with no success) I've noticed a strange thing:

the command will run on windows (2008 server R2) with a non existent username --> {machine name}$

for example: if my machine name is SERVER-A then the username which host command will run with is SERVER-A$

This user does not exist in the windows server.

I got this username by running HOST ('echo %USERNAME% > log.txt');

If i do it in another server, that acts normally, i get 'ADMINISTRATOR' user which is exactly what I want in that server.

Howdy, Stranger!
