  When I try and start the "Active Directory Certificate Service" I get the following error. "Windows could not start the Active Directory Certificate Services on Local Computer, along with a server specific error code 939523595"

   

  Event viewer is riddled with errors such as the ones below:

  1. Active Directory Certificate Services did not start: Unable to initialize the database connection for HELIOS-CA.  Error 0xc80001f5 (ESE: -501).

  2. certsrv.exe (2400) Database recovery/restore failed with unexpected error -501.

  3. certsrv.exe (2400) Corruption was detected during soft recovery in logfile C:\Windows\system32\CertLog\edb.log. The failing checksum record is located at position 9:278. Data not matching the log-file fill pattern first appeared in sector 10. This logfile has been damaged and is unusable.

  4. certsrv.exe (2400) The log range read from the file "C:\Windows\system32\CertLog\edb.log" at offset 4608 (0x0000000000001200) for 512 (0x00000200) bytes failed verification due to a corrupted checksum log record. The read operation will fail with error -501 (0xfffffe0b).  If this condition persists then please restore the logfile from a previous backup.

   

  Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this? I have already tried going through and removing and adding the Domain Name setup but it did not resolve the issue. I even dropped my domain at one point and picked it back up. I am using a *.homserver.com domain not a special one.
