Re-adding a remote PC to a domain

Regarding the Domain Join remotely:

Depending on the VPN type, on the machine login as a local admin - start the VPN then do domain join. Reboot the machine once domain joined, login to same local account and start the VPN again. Switch user and enter the domain users credentials. Once the domain user credentials have been cached once, they should be good to login via their own account and connect the VPN as normal (of course switch user again and disconnect the VPN before trying). This is also assuming the VPN has DNS setup correctly, I've seen loads of VPN's in my time set up incorrectly.

RDP connectivity issues via VPN:

I've seen this especially with Cisco VPN's, bottom line it will more than likely by IPv6 if you connect to the office from an ISP that uses IPv6. Ideally disable IPv6 in your router completely (if you don't use it of course) or disable IPv6 on every network adapter on the machine you are connecting to the VPN from.

This makes good sense, when I disable IPv6 on devices that seem troublesome, many a time has the issue dissapeared.
