How Do I Recover Corrupt WSUS DataStore.edb
A bad UPS killed my WSUS installation and I had to reinstall WSUS, including MSDE, to get it running again. It's working fine now, except I am continually getting the following errors in the machine's application log:
--------------------------

The event pair occurs every 30 minutes. The database in question, DataStore.edb, has not been modified since the problems with the UPS led to its corruption. The log files it wants are no where to be found, so I'm at a loss how to resolve this. The files in the log directory are as follows:

Thanks. Re-posting with corrected service names:
WSUS itself is probably fine since it stores its data in SQL, not an ESENT db, the Automatic Updates service on that box is however, hosed. Here's how to fix automatic updates.
NET Stop WUAUSERV
NET Stop BITS
Rename C:\Windows\SoftwareDistrib
NET Start WUAUSERV
Goto Windows Update and download available updates.

One minor note: on my W2K3 server, the update service is WUAUSERV vice wuausvc.
