By "your private iPhone program," do you mean one that does not belong to your company, and might be distributed to people who don't work for it? That's a breach of your company's Enterprise developer agreement. Apple will do something about it, and many companies would fire you for it.
Enterprise distribution (within the Enterprise license) is the only legal/supported way to make an unrestricted distribution of an iOS application. End of story. (Jailbroken phones are another story, but not for discussion on an Apple list.)
If you mean an application that is private to your company, and to be distributed only to its employees (or faculty, or students), you're almost all the way there.
You have your company's distribution signing identity in your keychain already (you're already signing ad-hoc distributions). Request an Enterprise provisioning profile in the Provisioning Portal (log in as the company's Team Agent> Provisioning page > Distribution tab > select the non-ad-hoc option, your distribution certificate, and the app's ID). Drop the resulting .mobileprovision onto Xcode's dock icon. Have a build configuration for distribution/archiving, and select the certificate that matches that profile (Xcode should indicate it's a recommended profile). Build > Build and Archive in Xcode 3, Product > Archive in Xcode 4.
Download and read the current version of the PDF "iOS 3 Enterprise Deployment Guide" for the authoritative details; also see the article "Distributing Enterprise Apps for iOS 4 Devices."
