Thanks for the suggestion Tom, but that didn't work, assuming I understood
what you meant.

I have a certificate in the Trusted Root CA from the Enterprise CA.  I have
a domain policy which puts this on domain members.  This certificate show as
OK and says it is intended for "all issuance policies" and "all application
plicies".

In the personal store I have a certificate with the DNS name that I want to
use for OWA which was issued from the same root CA (it is the only machine I
have running certificate services).  It says its intended purpose is
"ensures the identity of a remote computer" and says "you have a private key
that corresponds to this certificate".  

what I tried was exporting the cert from the personal store and importing it
into the trusted store.  I wasn't sure if that's what you meant or not.
Anyway, it didn't work.

I'm not sure if I don't have enough grasp of the certificate store concept
or if this is just a very strange problem.  The trusted root certificate
isn't necessary to install ISA is it?  I don't remember anything about it.
I didn't think any certificates were necessary to start the firewall service
itself.  Policies or web listeners are the only thing that came to mind as
something that would look for a certificate.  I just tried deleting all of
the policies I created and the one web listener, rebooted the server, and
still the same errors.

I think I'm about ready to punt.

Hi Jeff,

Try installing the CA certificate again. Export it from the Web site
certificate you're using and put the CA cert in the Trusted Root
Certification Authorities store for the machine account.

HTH,
Tom
