MS,

Are the users prompted because the certificate has been issued by a CA they
don't trust?

When using the "install certificate" button the Root CA certificate is
placed in the intermediate store, not the Trusted Root Store. When the
browser is closed the Root CA is removed from the Intermediate store.
Clients getting this prompt should install the Root CA certificate to the
Trusted Root Store.

There is a KB with ASP code included that will users can browse to and it
will prompt them if they want to install the Root CA in the Trusted Store,
and it works great!
