ORA-12560 TNS protocol adapter error at creating database stage while installing the oracle 10G R2


The platform where we faced issue is Windows 2008 SP2 and while installing Oracle 10g 10.2.0.1

Error Description - ORA-12560 TNS protocol adapter error at creating database stage while installing the oracle 10G R2 on win 2008 SP 2  DIM-00019: create service error. O/S-Error: (OS 1388) A new member could not be added to a local group because the member has the wrong account type.      

This error is not related to Oracle and after going through few forums we found given DB server where the Oracle 10g R2 installation taking place is configured as Domain Controller and we recommend to de-promote the server from domain controller. The installation is completed successfully after de-promoting the server from Domain Controlller.
