Log on as a Service right

We wrote a windows service using remoting that runs fine when running as a domain account that has local admin priviledges on the local machine. When we change the service user to no longer be part of the local administrators the service doesn't start. The user has Log on as service rights in the local security settings. Does a service user have to be part of the local administrators in order for the service to run?
