Warning If you don't create a local administrator account and the device fails to enroll in Active Directory for any reason, you will have to reimage the device and start over. As a best practice, we recommend: Use a least-privileged domain account to join the device to the domain. Create a temporary administrator account to use for debugging or reprovisioning if the device fails to enroll successfully.
Use Group Policy to delete the temporary administrator account after the device is enrolled in Active Directory.

If you're using IPv6 and Windows 7, you may want to consider having company notebook computers on the domain, and using DirectAccess.
I used to have the same problem with staff taking their laptops home. I used to use mandatory profiles, which meant that the laptop had to communicate with a domain controller at logon to load the users profile. I changed from mandatory profiles to local profiles with folder redirection, but i let the staff have access to the My Docs folder on the laptop. This way a staff member can log on to the laptop using only their domain account and then can use the same login details to log on while not connected to the network.
Can I just add that as long as the credentials are caching ok and the user can log on, you'll usually get no penalties from having the laptops on the domain aside from some messages in the event logs you can ignore. You do need to consider the machine's update processes though. If they're pointing at an internal WSUS server, can laptops at home see these?
If not, they're not going to get OS updates, so point them at the MS servers. Sam with the machine's antivirus: if it's managed by an internal server, you have to make sure it can either see that server or get its updates some other way, or you're going to end up with machines getting less and less secure. Beat me to it. I was thinking of credential caching. Also, by not joining them to the domain, you have to give the user Admin rights. That is the worst thing you can do with a remote user.
We have a vlan. If a user just needs internet access or are not authorized to be on our network, they connect to our guest wireless. If they are authorized they are able to connect to our internal wireless, or vpn in from offsite to our network. We authorize through AD. We put all of our laptops on the domain and have not had any problems with them. When they log on not connected to the domain it will use the cached credentials to log on with.
Of course, network printers won't work, but normally they just save files to the laptop or they use a citrix key fob to get onto the network via the internet and can save their work to the shared drives in the main office. We have several laptops at unmanaged locations. I join them to the domain, but create a local account for the user just to avoid trouble as these machines rarely come to the main office. In active directory, I keep them in a separate OU with an update policy set to update from the internet so they aren't looking for my WSUS server like everything else.
I second this. OpenVPN really made my life much easier. Nice product. All laptops are on the domain and VPN back in when needed. Chestnut Consulting is an IT service provider. What he said! This is what we do.
