I believe that the default web enrollment pages for the CA have a path that
allows the saving of a newly requested cert to disk for exactly this
scenario. There are probably some command line tools that can do the request
as well.
I'd take a look through
www.microsoft.com/vpn. I believe there are one or
two deployment whitepapers that discuss different techniques for addressing
this problem.
