If you're tallking about Microsofts xenroll control, I've had success with
that using it in a CA type fashion (key generation, signing and return public
key). Its written as perl cgi scripts with VBScript on the client side, and
seems to work in MSIE 4 & 5 (I'm working on MSIE 3 support).
This seems to come up here quite often - perhaps I ought to cobble together a
web page on it. The help file that Microsoft bundles with the control is very
useful if you've VBScripted before.
As regards the wizard, you _may_ be able to turn such things off (some of the
confirmations can be turned off I know), but I think it does require that the
client generates the key. Theres basically 2 functions to the control - make
a key and return a CSR, and take a PKCS7 chain and import it, and erm thats
it.

Luke
