"Trusted for TLS" means the store includes the root with the server-authentication trust bit (Mozilla "Websites", Apple serverAuth, Microsoft Server Authentication EKU). Microsoft "NotBefore" means only certificates issued before a cutoff date are still trusted. "Constrained" means the store applies extra restrictions.

Intermediate CAs issued by this root
The CCADB lists 18 intermediate CA certificates signed directly by Microsoft ECC Root Certificate Authority 2017: 6 currently valid, 8 expired and 4 revoked (revoked includes those whose parent was revoked).
Showing 18 of 18: valid certificates first, newest first. Each name links to its crt.sh entry by SHA-256; an arrow marks a cross-certificate for another root on this site.

Cross-signed versions
No certificate in the CCADB has the same subject and public key as Microsoft ECC Root Certificate Authority 2017 with a different issuer, so a client has to carry Microsoft ECC Root Certificate Authority 2017 itself in its root store to trust it.
CRL and OCSP addresses
In the root certificate
Microsoft ECC Root Certificate Authority 2017 itself contains no CRL Distribution Points and no OCSP (Authority Information Access) extension. That is normal for a root: clients trust it directly and do not check its own revocation status.

What happens when it expires
Microsoft ECC Root Certificate Authority 2017 is valid until 2042-07-18, about 15.7 years after this data snapshot (2026-11-10). From that day, browsers and operating systems that check trust-anchor expiry stop accepting chains that end at this root, so any certificate that can only chain to it fails validation. Android is a known exception: it does not enforce the expiry date of trust anchors.
Check whether your device trusts it
Each platform keeps its own root store. The commands below look up Microsoft ECC Root Certificate Authority 2017 by common name (Microsoft ECC Root Certificate Authority 2017) or fingerprint. The store status in each heading comes from the CCADB snapshot; your device can differ if it is out of date or managed by an administrator.
macOS (Apple store: Included · Trusted for TLS)
Search the system roots keychain by common name. -Z prints the SHA-256 hash, which must match the fingerprint on the last line.
security find-certificate -a -c "Microsoft ECC Root Certificate Authority 2017" -Z \
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain | grep "SHA-256"
# SHA-256 hash: 358DF39D764AF9E1B766E9C972DF352EE15CFAC227AF6AD1D70E8E4A6EDCBA02
Windows (Microsoft store: Included · Trusted for TLS)
Windows identifies roots by SHA-1 thumbprint. It installs third-party roots on demand through Automatic Root Certificates Update, so "not found" can also mean the root has not been needed yet; certutil -generateSSTFromWU roots.sst downloads Microsoft's full list.
certutil -verifystore Root 999A64C37FF47D9FAB95F14769891460EEC4C3C5
Linux (ca-certificates follows Mozilla: Included · Trusted for TLS)
Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and RHEL build their ca-certificates package from Mozilla's root store. Use trust list on p11-kit systems, or search the PEM bundle on Debian and Ubuntu.
# Fedora / RHEL / Arch (p11-kit)
trust list --filter=ca-anchors | grep -iF -A2 "Microsoft ECC Root Certificate Authority 2017"
# Debian / Ubuntu (ca-certificates)
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt \
| openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -noout | grep -iF "Microsoft ECC Root Certificate Authority 2017"
Java
Java ships its own cacerts keystore; JDK 9 and later accept -cacerts and the default store password is changeit. Search for the SHA-256 fingerprint in colon form.
keytool -list -cacerts -storepass changeit | grep -i "35:8D:F3:9D:76:4A:F9:E1:B7:66:E9:C9:72:DF:35:2E:E1:5C:FA:C2:27:AF:6A:D1:D7:0E:8E:4A:6E:DC:BA:02"
Android
Android's system store is maintained by Google separately from the four CCADB stores above. Open Settings → Security & privacy → More security settings → Encryption & credentials → Trusted credentials → System (menu names vary by vendor and version) and look for Microsoft Corporation → Microsoft ECC Root Certificate Authority 2017.
Which root does my site chain to?
List the chain your server sends and compare the last issuer with this root; the fingerprint check confirms a local copy.
# show subject (s:) and issuer (i:) of every certificate the server sends
openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 -servername example.com -showcerts </dev/null 2>/dev/null \
| grep -E '^ *[0-9]+ s:|^ *i:'
# subject and SHA-256 fingerprint of the downloaded PEM file
openssl x509 -in microsoft-ecc-root-ca-2017.pem -noout -subject -fingerprint -sha256
# sha256 Fingerprint=35:8D:F3:9D:76:4A:F9:E1:B7:66:E9:C9:72:DF:35:2E:E1:5C:FA:C2:27:AF:6A:D1:D7:0E:8E:4A:6E:DC:BA:02
