If you don't want to use the certificate Web pages, you can use the (less
friendly) certreq.exe command line tool.
This article is not exactly about certreq.exe but will give you a good idea
of the options you have:

Alternatively, if you are an Apache house, you are better off using openssl;
it's pretty straightforward to generate a self signed certificate, or even a
signed certificate. Google for it and you will find many examples on how you
can use openssl to do that.
