RE: domain vs local account

I have ALWAYS used a local box admin account for installing and maintining Oracle software in both NT and W2k.

Joe,

You can certainly use the doamin account; we do it all the time.

I am not sure why the TAR said this - but I can take a guess - generally the domain users are not privileged enough. Oracle recommends using the Administrator account to install anything for that reason.
