which store should you import the certificate?

HOTSPOT
You have a server named Server1 that has the Network Policy and Access Services server role installed.
You plan to configure Network Policy Server (NPS) on Server1 to use certificate-based authentication for
VPN connections.
You obtain a certificate for NPS.
You need to ensure that NPS can perform certificate-based authentication.
To which store should you import the certificate?
To answer, select the appropriate store in the answer area.

Answer:

Explanation:
When organizations deploy their own public key infrastructure (PKI) and install a private trusted root CA,
their CA automatically sends its certificate to all domain member computers in the organization. The
domain member client and server computers store the CA certificate in the Trusted Root Certification
Authorities certificate store. After this occurs, the domain member computers trust certificates that are
issued by the organization trusted root CA.
For example, if you install AD CS, the CA sends its certificate to the domain member computers in your
organization and they store the CA certificate in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate
store on the local computer. If you also configure and autoenroll a server certificate for your NPS servers
and then deploy PEAP-MS-CHAP v2 for wireless connections, all domain member wireless client
computers can successfully authenticate your NPS servers using the NPS server certificate because they
trust the CA that issued the NPS server certificate.
On computers that are running the Windows operating system, certificates that are installed on the
computer are kept in a storage area called the certificate store. The certificate store is accessible using
the Certificates Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in.This store contains multiple folders, where certificates of different types are stored. For example, the
certificate store contains a Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder where the certificates from all
trusted root CAs are kept.
When your organization deploys a PKI and installs a private trusted root CA using AD CS, the CA
automatically sends its certificate to all domain member computers in the organization. The domain
member client and server computers store the CA certificate in the Trusted Root Certification
Authorities folder in the Current User and the Local Computer certificate stores. After this occurs, the
domain member computers trust certificates that are issued by the trusted root CA.
Similarly, when you autoenroll computer certificates to domain member client computers, the
certificate is kept in the Personal certificate store for the Local Computer. When you autoenroll
certificates to users, the user certificate is kept in the Personal certificate store for the Current User.
