Ian, One thing that you might want to try (and that I think will work) is if you migrate the machine over their VPN, but when the computer comes back online have them use their old network ID to log on once, connect through your VPN client and then have them use the "run as" feature on any application using their new domain credentials.
When they use the "run as" it should download their new credentials to the machine so when they log off their old account and back in with the new account the laptop should already have the SAM entry for the new domain account. It's a theory, but it might work.

It's the computer accounts that concern me. We can arrange for the users workstation to be connected to the domain at the time of migration but I'm just thinking it may be safer to simply have all remote computers returned to the main office for the migration.
