SSL certs: broken certificate chain

if windows is reporting “windows does not have enough information to verify this certificate”, it’s most likely indicating a broken certificate chain. viewing the certification path tab and examining the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store can verify this.

in the case that i was looking at, it looked like the root chain was missing Baltimore CyberTrust Root, Microsoft Internet Authority, & MSIT Machine Auth CA2. this site provides a download for those root certs:
