  If it's on a domain, use group policies... though I'm not exactly sure which section this belongs to. RP uses this method...
  
  I assumed that this PC is using 2000 Pro or XP Pro... since you mentioned domain.

  First question - don't get you. If his account is on the domain, he will be able to log in. But of course, with no wireless connections configured, because he has not logged in before.
  
  Second question - don't know.

  This is probably not possible if you are using Windows Wireless Configuration, but is possible with 3rd-party drivers like D-Link.
