The replication between SFB Frontend Server and SFB Edge Server failed. Kept seeing the following error in the Event Viewer on SFB Edge Server.

However, on the SFB Frontend Server(s), found out that there was NO DigiCert Intermediate Certificate installed under "Intermediate Certification Authorities" folder. However, there was Root Certificate installed under "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" folder.
