Hi Tliedtke,
I want to make sure I understand your question correctly. Are you trying to image a machine, and it is failing one of the tasks, that you are attributing to a missing certificate? You mentioned the *.0 files which are the certificate files the Clients use for agent communication. Are you trying to copy these into location seperate from an agent install?
If your agent is configured to include your CSA information, including an agent install action in your provisioning template, should install the agent and copy into place the certificate.
If I'm off base, can you provide more details about what you are trying to accomplish, how you are going about doing it, and what it is doing (vs what you expect it to do)?
