Resolving Error Code 0x800b0109: Trust Issues with Root Certificates in Windows Server 2003

To address the error code 0x800b0109 in Windows Server 2003, follow these steps:

1. Update Root Certificates: Visit the Microsoft website to download and install the latest Root Certificates. Restart your server afterwards to apply changes.
2. Verify Date and Time Settings: Check that your server's date and time are accurately set. Incorrect settings can lead to trust issues with certificates. Adjust if necessary and restart the server.
3. Inspect the Certificate Chain: Ensure each certificate in the chain is valid and trusted. If any certificate is found to be invalid or untrusted, replace or remove it, then restart your server.
