Is the account that you configured for client push in the local administrator group on the clients you are trying to install the SCCM client on?

I have gone through several test installations in a lab environment now, including the AD prep and SQL installation parts. I’ve been using several references, including the windows-noob.com recommendation given here. Each install was done as a single primary site server, with the “use defaults” selected during SCCM 2012 installation. In each instance I’ve installed, the first time I push a client to a test device, the install fails with error code 5. Once I add the SCCM host to the local admin group on the target device, the install goes fine. I can’t find anywhere that states the SCCM host server has to be a member of local admins on all target devices. So I’m wondering if I’m missing/misconfiguring something during install. I know I can create a GPO to drop the SCCM host in the local admin group across the board, but should I need to? Basically hoping for a sanity check to know if this is the default behavior, or something I’m doing wrong and am too inexperienced to see it yet.
