Yep. Here's how I do it:

 

1. Start>Run> then type "mmc"

2. Add a snapin (Console>Add/Remove Snapins

3. Click the Add button

4. Select Group Policy

5. Go through the wizard, and select browse. Then look for the pc you want to manage. Browsing may not work. So if it doesn't, just type in the name of the PC you want to manage.

6. Click Close for the addins, and OK for the snap-in window.

 

 

Now you should see all the options for the remote machine. Keep in mind that this is the way to manage Domain policies as well. Hope that helps.

It's not under:

 

Comp Config>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Local Policies>User Rights Assignments?

 

I am used to working with AD whenever I use it.
