Yes, you can edit the local security settings via a remote MMC, however as
Chris has said, in almost all circumstances the domain, site and OU GPOs
will override this.

You would probably be better creating a GPO and linking it to an object high
enough up the tree to encompass all of these boxes, and then filtering it by
a group that these computers are members of.
