Best practice for accounts to run install and run oracle and an oracle standy database
Secondly (background):
standby software installed by local administrator. Primary software also. Primary DB running as Local SYSTEM. Rman writing to network share. Network drive for flash recovery area is being 'shared' read/write with a local administrator -- but rman doesn't work automatically (local system)? However the archive logs are being writen to the network share...
Also I believe I read somewhere that if the DB service is a domain admin, then the installer of the oracle software should be a member of that domain (however that does not seem to be the case at the moment).
