Have you considered building an MSI to expedite this? I built an MSI that allows me to make transformation file that contains: SSH keys, SSH host name, user and even the OSSEC shared key to customize the installation via properties.
So on local systems they ssh into our OSSEC via plink.exe run manage_agents add themselves and pull the key. Remote systems that I only allow to talk to OSSEC I manually generate them via a script and a csv (hostname, public IP) and it dumps the shared keys to a file which I then generate the MST file and publish them via their WSUS server through Local Update Publisher.

I'm aware of the security issues but have some severe deadlines and doing one key per system is causing delays since we having to add hundreds of keys per month. If their is an alternative that can streamline it, i.e. a web interface to help selfserve the creation of the keys, then I would be open to that since I do limit access to the ossec system via the specific users. If it is possible to do a shared key it will obviously improve the ability for me to deploy the agent via a GPO silently rather than rely on people to request to keys and then forgetting to install it.
