You can do very little to alter the "doman configuration." Unless she
is a system administrator, she couldn't do this anyway. If she WAS an
administrator, the OP wouldn't be asking this question in the first
place as she would know what to do.
The worst that could probably happen is that they would take the
Domain based laptop off the domain and add it the the HomeLAN
workgroup. That is not a major problem but an inconvience when she
goes back to work and needs the IT folks to add the machine back to
the domain for her. They will then give her a dressing down for that.
I know I would.
