You should add to the ORA_DBA group any user who you wish to be able to perform database administrative actions. That can be a local user, or a domain user.... Oracle works fine with both (though some tweaking is necessary on the client-side if you want to administer the database remotely). So that bit of your advice is a bit lacking, I'm afraid.

As for your second suggestion: don't. There's precisely no need, and the Oracle service has the account name and password it does for a reason: it's designed that way, and it works that way.
