I have a PKI setup issuing certificates from the root CA onto Smart Cards.
these work fine for the machines that are connected to my domain for Windows
authentication.

The problem I have is there a a number of mobil PC units that do not connect
to the domain and use local accounts for authentication. I need to enable
these machines with the ability to use a smart card with cert for
authentication.

Can you install a copy of the root CA locally or generate a certificate for
a local user account so that this can be acheived?

The desktops are XP and Vista and the root CA is on a 2003 server.

You can't do this. Smart card logon in Windows requires Kerberos and there
is no kerberos when using local accounts. Join the mobile computers to the
domain and use domain accounts.
