Deployment tip

When deploying step-ca and the step CLI to Windows endpoints, avoid interactive bootstrap prompts by running step ca bootstrap --ca-url --fingerprint --install --force, which both pins the CA and installs the root certificate into the local trust store without user interaction—ideal for wrapping in automated deployment scripts or GPO startup tasks.
