I just setup a test webserver with SSL using a server certificate from
Microsoft Certificate Services. When I browse the site in IE, I get a
Security Alert that states:

"The security certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to
trust. View the certificate to determine wheteher to trust the certifying
authority."

When I tried to add the certificate as a trusted root CA, I failed. Is there
a way to kill this annoying popup short of getting a certificate from

Hi,

Install CA server certificate on the client... You can get it on CA server.
Open Web Interface and go to Download a CA certificate, certificate chain or
CRL. Here click on Download CA certificate. Save the file and transfer it on
the client. Double click on it and follow the wizard. Default values should
be OK.

Once you install it, all the certificates issued on this CA will be trusted.
