Re: Windows DB best practices

Create a seperate Windows Account in the Adminstrators group. The Installer then uses that Administrator privilege to create the ORA_DBA group and update the Registry. Thereafter, if you create another Windows account, it doesn't have to be in the Adminsitrator's group -- the ORA_DBA group is sufficient to be the same as the Unix "dba" group.
