I need to deploy a certificate to a mix of Windows machines, including XP, Win7, Server 2003 and 2008, for the purposes of using Locally Published Updates with WSUS. This is a Samba 3 network, so there are no GPO or similar tools available to me.
This question asks the same basic question but the OP in that case was able to utilise SCCM, which we don't have. Is there a viable way of doing this without the use of GPO or machine startup scripts (the implementation of which presents the same problems as I am currently facing)?

I believe you could use the certutil utility to install the certificate

He has detailed a couple of scenarios and a batch file that deploys a certificate to the local machine store.
