Apologies for not adding all the information.

I have already set up a enterprise root CA, a intermediate CA to issue
certificates.
The desktops which are part of the regular domain are automatically being
issued with computer certificates.
However I can not get a client which is not part of the domain to be issued
a computer certificate.

When I connect using PPTP and use the web enrolment method
(http://Certificate Authority/CertSrv ) , there is no option to request a
computer certificate.
I have also tried the following
    Installed a stand alone CA with access to the Enterprise CA
    Installed a computer certificate (on this server) issued by the
intermediate CA
    Point the client browser to this CA and request a certificate.
    Add the IPsec template (and others)

There is still no option to request a compter certificate.

So
Can a client which has not joined a domain have a computer certificate
issued from a CA?
If so how?

Thanks Joe leone
