In SMS 2003 the Client Push Installation process requires the following for the client resources and the site server in order to function as expected.
Client Resources
1. File sharing must be set and enabled.
2. The ADMIN$ Administrative share must exist and be accessible.
3. The Server service must be enabled and started.
4. The Client Push Installation account must have access to the resource.
Site Server
The site server requires the creation of an administrative account (Client Push Installation Account) to use that can access the client resources with elevated privileges. This means that it needs to be a member of the domain admins group because this group is copied to all resources once they are joined to a domain by default.
Note: Many times this is the reason why your client resources are not installing or functioning as expected because the end user has removed the account from the machine or from the Domain Administrators group.
The account that you create for the Client Push Installation Account must also be specified in the Accounts tab for the “Client Push Installation” Properties.
