Solutions to lock out a laptop and force AD connection to log back in

This is a general question, though in our specific situation, a user who is on annual leave until their last day has yet to return their laptop to us and there's been a suggestion that they're using their laptop for personal use and/or their new place of work Naturally, we can disable their user via AD, but until they connect to the VPN, they'll still be able to log on with their cached(?) credentials(? ticket?) We do have ESET Endpoint Security installed, and as such can remotely run any commands as a system user. Is there a sure fire way we can disable log on until the machine is able to reach our AD server (in which case, the user will be disabled anyway)?
