RE: domain vs local account

I don't think it is a good habit to get into...

When I set up Win2k boxes with Oracle the first thing I do is create a local admin account named oracle.

Should be reason enough that if Oracle says they won't support a domain account install there is probably a good reason for doing so. Unless you like paying for Oracle support for the fun of it.

As our ops mgr is wont to say, "he's on crack".

Nearly all of our Oracle installs on Win2k are by a domain user that may also be a domain admin.

Never caused any problems, no one has ever asked.
