If the VPN software he's using doesn't permit him to use the "log on using
dialup" option, which would allow him to log into the domain 'live' instead
of logging into the domain account on the workstation with cached
credentials, I don't think he can do what he wishes.
You might create a batch file for him and have him run it - it could do
something like map a drive to a network resource on the domain and provide
the credentials (which would then make any other connection to resources on
that domain using the same ones).
However, if he doesn't even want to enter a password, you'd have to
hard-code the password in the batch file, which is a) awkward when his
password changes and b) a security risk as anyone could look at the password
in the batch file.
How many times is he being prompted for his domain credentials with the
existing setup? I'd think that providing the information *once* would
suffice for the duration of that logon session.
