Digital certificates not functioning as expected (server 2019 essentials with windows 11 PC)

Hello. Problem: certs not functioning as expected (I'm sure its something I did wrong).

I have a Certificate Authority set up on a test Domain Controller (server 2019 essentials). From that DC CA, I have generated several device keys through the standard (manual) CSR process, exported, and installed I have one set up on the internal interface of my lab firewall and one set up on a lab PC. When I hit the firewall via a web browser, I still get the "not secure" and https is lined out. I can click on the lock and it shows the correct CA certificate. And the PC certificate shows in the "trusted" cert store as well as the browser certs. Both certs are showing the trusted link to the same test DC CA. Simple...should work, right?

Pointing me to a simple and well-articulated guide would be the best as I've found no good guides to date.

Thanks!! Kurt
