HELLO ALL, FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO SAY THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THE HELP YOU GIVE TO EACH OF US ON THIS FORUMS, THIS ADMINS WITH IDEAS LOL! ANYHOW, HERE'S MY QUESTION: I CONTROL DOMAIN CONTROLLERS / USERS (WINDOWS 2003 SERVER) EVERYTIME WE HAVE A NEW HIRE, I ALWAYS HOOK THE LAPTOP TO THE NETWORK AND LOG THE USER IN, THEN USER CAN WORK OFF THE DOMAIN USER THEIR CREDENTIALS IN THE FIELD ON THE VPN. THE QUESTION IS: HOW CAN I ELIMINATE THE PROCCESS OF PLUGIN THE LAPTOP TO THE NETWORK EVERYTIME I HAVE A NEW USER AND JUST ADD THE USER ON THE MACHINE REMOTELY. PLEASE NOTE I'D LIKE A DOMAIN ACCOUNT AND NOT A LOCAL ACCOUNT. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP GUYS, I AM GOING CRAZZYYYYYY LOL! MAYBE YOU HAVE MORE IDEAS!

You can't. If the computer isn't connected to the Network/Domain, the user will not be able to authenticate. Also, since you're an Admin, you should know that posting in ALL CAPS is difficult to read and considered rude/shouting.
