Error 0xC800073C during WU

On a Windows 2003 R2 Standard I get the error message 0xC800073C. I can't
find anything about this error. Does someone knows more?

0xC800073C hrLogCorrupted
The database log files are damaged.

The database in question is located at
%windir%\Software Distribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb

You can attempt to repair DataStore.edb by running the following at a
Command Prompt

esentutl /p %windir%\softwaredistribution\datastore\datastore. edb

The only reason to repair DataStore.edb is to retain the update history
shown on the Windows/Microsoft Update sites.
You can rename it by stopping the Automatic Updates and BITS services
first, then navigate to DataStore.edb, and rename it with an .old
extension. Alternatively, you can just delete it after stopping AU and
BITS.
NOTE: IF BITS is not in a running state, then just stop the AU service.
