Oracle on NT vs Unix

hi,

I have quite a bit of experience installing and administering databases on unix, but I am now being asked to install and configure databases on NT.
What I would like to know is this :-

On unix, you typically create an account (e.g. oracle) and a group (e.g. dba) and use that account to install the software, create the database and often administer the database afterwards.

Do you do the same sort of approach on NT ? Would you create a group (is there the same concept ?) and an account to install the software ? what privileges / permissions should the account have ? Can you create the database using scripts, or is there a wizard of some kind ?

This will be version 7.34 and 8.0.5 initially, and then version 8.1.5 Running on a NT4 server (probably compaq)

Any pointers welcome. If anyone has any URL's that help with the unix / nt differences, again it would be welcome.

Thanks
