Connecting a computer in a remote location

If I had a computer that was sent to a user in a remote location but forgot to sign in with the user account on the computer. What are 3 ways I can use to connect the computer to the domain to allow the user to sign into his/her computer in a remote location? Sorry was asked this question in an interview and would like to know the answer for next time. I am assuming VPN from the local admin account and switching user then signing in with that users account would be one method. Do you guys have other ways?

    The old "login as a local admin and fire up VPN" is my favorite but doesn't work for every VPN solution.

    I'm interested in the responses myself. Not having done this myself, my initial thoughts are:
    - Offline domain join (djoin.exe)
    - Azure AD
    - Provisioning package via WCD
    There are some prerequisites/assumptions here.
