pushing user accounts from active dir to a pc

Hi

We have a network running SBS with a number of desktops and laptops, some of witch are spare laptops. Resulting in the occasional problem with people who forgot to log on before they left and have no account on a laptop when they take a spare laptop home.

I was wondering if there is anny way i can just push the necesary account information out to the pc before they take it with them?
(there are people here who are suggesting making local accounts on the spare laptops, and i reallllly don't like this idea)

No good way to do it. I would probably just setup a AD user account called laptopuser and set the password never to expire and then login to each of the laptops with that account. Then they can login with that account.

Ok ,

since i really don't like making local accounts and i care even less for permanent passwords, i guess they'll have to kep loging on once before leaving the office
