Automatically install Client Authentication

Our network is certificate based and installs a Client Authentication Cert when you log in on a Windows PC. Otherwise you can hardwire the computer and go to certmgr.msc and request a new cert under personal certificates. This authenticates access to Internet and our overall network environment. Not a big deal on Windows, but Mac users have to

1) log into a windows machine
2) launch certmgr.msc 3) Export the Client Issuing CA (with the personal key)
4) Save it to a thumb drive
5) log into a mac using their domain credentials
6) copy cert from flash drive to Mac
7) add to login keychain and it becomes an x509
8) after adding the wireless choosing that x509 as the authentication cert
After this is done the user can access the wireless network and our other areas. Does anyone have an idea of how i can have out Mac computers perform this action automatically?
