MS-windows installation using "service accounts"

edited Dec 10, 2015 10:04AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 7 commentsAnswered

When we install Oracle software (database or other) on UNIX/Linux hosts, we have the "oracle" account built by the system administrators, and we signon as that account and do the install.

In our organization, we refer to this account as a "service account";  I am sure many other organizations use the same terminology.

But when we shift to the world of MS-windows, the concept of installing using a "service account" starts to disappear.

Oracle documentation seems to not care, as long as the account is an ADMIN account.

What are people doing regarding the use of "service accounts" on MS-windows and installing Oracle software?    (and why?)

Howdy, Stranger!
