IIS Certificate for Exchange 2003 - not working for Vista?

Hello,

I'm running Exchange 2003 SP2 on WIndows 2003 SP1 standard. I connect my
clients using RPC over HTTPs using the certificate I created on the exchange
server. I am able to connect clients running Windows XP and Office 2007
without issue. However I have tried to configure a Vista 32 client so far
to connect to that server using Outlook 2007 and have bombed out. I
typically go to my https:\\mail.mydomain.com\certsrv - down load the
certificate - der and install. Then I set up RPC over https on the outlook
client. In this case I cannot resolve the name, I don't get the server
name to underline and I get "there is a problem with the proxy server's
security certificate. The security certificate is not from a trusted
certifying authority. Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server
mail.mydomain.com (error code 8).

Do I need to do something to my IIS certificate or install it differently on
my client (tried 64 with no luck). I realize I could get a public
certificate from godaddy or some such thing but I'm more interested in
resolving the issue than working around it. Of course in a week I may
change my mind.

Thanks for your help. I posted in Vista in case this is Vista and Exchange
clients in case this is the wrong location to post.

Got it- IE7 in Vista wasn't installing it in the right location it needed to
be under Trusted Root Certificates or Enterprise - not sure which yet.

Export and Import works wonders.
