Hi,
On several Servers, I have certificates where the certificates are listed as:
Issued to: 0882ac7e-3ff6-4231-a45b-5a654aa4303f
Issued by: MS-Organization-Access
SCOM reports these as "Certificate is invalid".
Chain Details:
--- Certificate Status ---
PartialChain: A certificate chain could not be built to a trusted root authority.
Are these certificates actually invalid and can be removed?
Also, can someone explain where or how they certificates are generated and by whom.
Thank you,
David
This certificate comes from ADFS and is automatically generated. You can safely skip this error. You can delete it, but next time you sign-in with ADFS, it will be generated again. In other words, it is expected behavior and by design.

"You can safely ignore them." Is this really your workaround? Daily a new alert from SCOM that can be "safely ignored". From an serious operators point of view thats not really a good workaround. One day you will ignore another certificate that is about to expire, just because you are used to ignore alerts like this...

Hi, recently I saw an unknown untrusted certificate on the personal tab on google chrome with the personal one that I have since years. The certificate was issued and valid for the same "person", that was a bunch of numbers and types in this format xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx and was valid from 7 april 2024 to 7 april 2025. I do not recognize or know how this certificate has appeared or installed in my google chrome certificates and Chrome said that it was untrusted so I got scared to be malware or similar and deleted it from chrome. I dont know if I did the correct thing or not and I did not take photos (my fault) because I panicked. Some answers would be aprreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi Crypt32,
Could you explain how this certificateis generated.
The server is a Windows 2016 server and has SQL on it plus a few small applications.
How could I find out who/when/how this certificate is generated.

Certificate is generated when someone uses Azure AD or other federated service (such as Office 365) via ADFS to log in to computer or web site.

Hallo,
Now, i don't use federated service, and i have Office 2016 , but i have also the same Certificate.
If certificate continues to show up, then there is some application that uses federated services (such as Office 365).

This certificate started showing up on client endpoints after integrating AD FS Device Registration. We are trying to use it in conjunction with AD FS Certificate Authentication however since the clients don't trust these certificates they fail during authentication.. What needs to be done for clients to trust these certs?
I have started seeing this exact same type of untrusted certificate, from a 3rd party cloud service which was presenting a valid certificate yesterday.
What is being done to mitigate this "working as designed" feature & prevent us all from having to teaching end users to ignore security warnings on internet services?
In this instance it is possible that a 10-year lifespan for this certificate is also being rejected - but I cannot see a complete certificate chain being presented here - just an end-user cert with no valid domain information

Hello, I had this issue for one of our web application.
The certificate pop up would show and make an error if we clicked on yes instead of cancel when we try to go to our web app.
I solved this in the IIS management console > SSL Settings, and choose "Ignore" option.
