The best solution will be to upgrade the CA server to enterprise edition
and use autoenrollment, to be honest with you.
You are growing to the number of workstations where autoenrollment is the
only way to go. You have a management nightmare unless you use
autoenrollment.
Alternatively, look at the enroll.vbs script included in my 2003 PKI book.
A scripted enrollment could be used.

In our hospital we have a Win2003 domain with about 150 workstations.Six
workstations are "Cows" (computer on wheels) that use a wireless
connection to pass senstive medical information. AP's are Cisco. The
wireless part of the connection is secured using EAP-TLS with user
certificates. We are using an Enterprise CA to issue the certificates. We
cannot use autoenrollment for certificates because we do not have a
Window2003
Enterprise server.

We are considering expanding the use of wireless workstations to 50 or
more. This presents an issue for our very small IT staff. Each wireless
workstation is used by about 20 people which means 20 user certificates
have to be installed/manged on each COW.

Question: is there another design that would still provide EAP-TLS level
security for our wireless network with having so many certificates to
manage? Or is there a way to install the certificates, in-mass, rather
than one at a time.
