OraAdmin is now member of administrators group and Ora_dba group.
Logged onto EM at server and used System user logon.

It is not possible to EXPORT data on Oracle 11g.
Clasic Oracle export is depricated on 11g and only clasical IMPORT is supported (sofar).
Also iSQL*Plus is depricated and doesn't exist.
Instead CLASICAL OLD GOOD export/Import use DATA PUMP export!!!!
Create directory (making the needed changes!!!!!):
connect sys/passw@some_instance as sysdba
create directory pump as 'c:\oraclehome\product\10.
Now physically create the directory '/u01/app/oracle/product/1
using MidNight Commander or whatever you use.
Create a PARAMETER FILE (expsch.par e.g.):
USERID='sys/manager@o10f as sysdba'
DIRECTORY=PUMP
DUMPFILE=010f_pump.dmp
LOGFILE=expsch.log
SCHEMAS=icwuser,lscontacts
CONTENT=all
Now invoke the DATA PUMP EXPORT (Shema Level, FULL DATABASE is also possible!!!!)
% expdp parfile=expsch.par
Good Luck!

Hi Joesph,
One thing I didn't mention is that I'm pretty new to Oracle 11g, just trying to set up a test system to see if our data software can connect etc.
I think some knowledge of Oracle and its working are required on my part but I just don't have the time. The error I mention is not just for Export, it's anytime I have to enter 'Host Credentials' Maybe I have misslead people by desribing specific task as Export Data, sorry for that.
Fact remains, Host Credentials remains a mistery as to why when I use them, I have the above described error message.......

Hi Fekrat,
You are a genius, it worked!
I added the ora_dba group to the 'log on as a batch job' and I can now get past the Host Credentials screen. The funny part is it does not work with Administrator but it does now work with another windows user I set up which i named 'OraAdmin' which has administrative rights to the server and is a member of the ora_dba group.
Thanks for everyones input on this, very much appreciated.
