What is a Valid Trust Anchor in Windows 7 relating to Wifi?
- by Aaron
The error below just started happening at work with a personal laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate. I'm unable to use installed, non-expired certificates to connect to a private wireless network. No recent changes were made by IT that would explain the issue. It worked fine several weeks ago and happens on two laptops I own.
The details and some screen shots are here:

The error we don't understand is this:
The credentials provided by the server
could not be validated. We recommend
that you terminate the connection and
contact your administrator with the
information provided in the details.
You may still connect but doing so
exposes you to the security risk by a
possible rogue server.
The server XYZ presented a valid
certificate issued by Company Name
Certificate Authority but Company Name
Certificate Authority is not
configured as a valid trust anchor for
this profile.
We don't know to to resolve the issue without ignoring the error (nor what's changed that could explain this new error).
Update: The new information is that we have our own Root CA, and that the certificates were not updated recently, nor have any expired.
