hi,

thank post.

yes, enterprise ca can issue certificate workgroup user or workgroup computer. can request certificate through web enrollment page or using utility certreq.

 certreq.exe syntax

ad cs: web enrollment
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732517.aspx

in addition, please remember that:

1. workgroup user (or computer) must trust ca.

2. url locations of aia , cdp accessible. 

if there unclear, please feel free let me know.
