See below the closing summary of the case we had about this issue.
The scripts works fine, tested it with a issued certificate from our own CA also works.
The problem is related to how we generate the certificate for HTTPS inspection. It must be issued using CNG API.
(Certificate New Generation v3)
PROBLEM
Web access from internal computers to remote HTTPS sites using HTTPS inspection feature fails with error 0x8009000a
RESOLUTION
Use the following script to generate a custom CNG certificate for HTTPS inspection:
-
Copy the following lines in a file with .ps1 extension:
#SCRIPT - Generate Self-signed CNG Certificates for Certificate signing purpose, This will be used by TMG Https Inpection
#AUTHOR - Microsoft Corporation
#VERSION - 1.0
#$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"

-
Open a Power Shell window and run the script. Follow the instructions.
-
The .cer and .pfx will be save in the folder of your choice. As well .cer will be installed in the local computer / trusted root.
-
Configure the HTTPS inspection to use this custom certificate. Follow the steps described in:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd441053
Generating the HTTPS inspection certificate
-
Deploy the HTTPS inspection certificate in the client computers, just as you did for your current one. You could deploy it using both AD DS and manually. For
detailed description follow steps in:
