This can still be done, but I think they have moved the focus from intranet to using the MMC.

If you are using a domain & AD, simply opening Active directory users & computers will allow you to do this for the whole domain (assuming you have sufficient privileges).

If you are using a workgroup, I generally open the local computer management MMC console (right click on my computer & goto manage). I then right click on the Computer Management object, & select connect to another computer. You can then connect to a remote computer & modify it in exactly the same way (again subject to permissions).
