Re:Microsoft PKI (Score 2, Interesting)

Microsoft has a utility in their Resource Kit for Windows servers named MSCEP. It adds support for the protocol that the Cisco routers use. I have setup a Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 with a Cisco 831 router at the perimeter. After installing (and configuring) Certificate Services, IAS, and MSCEP I am now able to authenticate the Cisco VPN Clients (both Mac and Windows btw) using digital certificates and radius. The setup is working flawlessly for me now. Cisco has upgraded the 830 series of routers with the new 850 and 870 series that have wireless capability integrated into the router. It will be interesting to configure the wireless clients for 802.1x using EAP-TLS along with the Cisco VPN Client for remote access, as well as the Mac OS X clients :) So, basically you can easily configure Cisco routers to work with Microsoft's Certificate Services. I work for neither Microsoft or Cisco. Enjoy!
