Whichever way you log on to the server, that account needs to be a member of the local administrators group. For our Wintel boxes, we have a domain account that is a member of the local admin. group on each Oracle server. You can use a local account just as well... we just prefer using the single account for administration purposes... Being a Solaris guy, you'll probably love the Wintel tools like 'oradim' etc.. :)
