Answer from a TechNet posting - here for reference because I didn't find an answer on EE and in case someone else has this issue. Key here is to use the Local Computer Account during snap-in construction.
Thank you for this post! I can confirm as well that this indeed works! I have a new 2008 R2 server (DC) running Exchange 2010, and this is what helped me get past that horrid error. For me, the key was to look through my certificates until I found the one that had the thumbprint code that matched what was in the error message, and then move that certificate to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder.
