In Windows 7 I was able to login to a domain joined computer using localhost\administrator to login to the local admin account without having to know the computer name itself. In Windows 8.1 Enterprise when I try to use localhost\administrator to login to a domain joined computer it does not allow me to. It says username or password incorrect.

Is there a way to get this localhost\ login functionality back in Windows 8.1?
