Auto-enrollement would leave the certs on the machine. The whole process of
auto-enrollment is used to give the network admin some slck when it comes to
certificate distribution. Basically when a new machine is joined to the
domain auto-enrollment will issue a cert for the machine and when the user
logs on it will issue one to the user. After that the cert should always be
on the machine. Do you know if perhaps they are just using WPA with TKIP?
