The Symantec Management Agent Push Install process attempts to access an administrative share on the target computer. If User Account Control (UAC) is enabled on the Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 10 computer using a user-defined local administrator account, then access to the administrative share will fail, causing the push install to also fail. This is because the user account has no elevation potential on the target computer and cannot perform administrative tasks.
For more information on User Account Control, refer to the following Microsoft documentation:

This document contains the following information about Local User Accounts:
When a user with an administrator account in a Windows Vista computer's local Security Accounts Manager (SAM) database remotely connects to a Windows Vista computer, the user has no elevation potential on the remote computer and cannot perform administrative tasks. If the user wants to administer the workstation with a SAM account, the user must interactively logon to the computer that he or she wishes to administer.
