Hi,

a good friend of mine came to me last week because some services of Windows Vista on his notebook did not run as expect. In detail:

• Windows Search service starts but terminates
  • EventID 7034: The Windows Search service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 4 time(s).

    

  • EventID 7024: The Windows Search service terminated with service-specific error 2147749155 (0x80040D23)
  • EventID 1006: The Windows Search Service has failed to create the new search index. Internal error <4, 0x8004117f
  • EventID 9000: The Windows Search Service cannot open the Jet property store.
• Windows Update service starts, but do not work, some errors are logged in C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log
  • 45c    DtaStor    FATAL: Failed to initialize datastore, error = 0xC8000247
  • 45c    AU    FATAL: Failed to get session from datastore, error = 0xC8000247
  • 45c    AU    FATAL: Failed to Unserialize from data store, error = 0xC8000247
• No Windows Update File could installed by double clicking a msu File.
• Cryptocraphic service do not run as expected:
  • Signature for Windows builtin programs cannot be verified, for example mmc.exe. Error Message:

    “Do you want the following program to allow changes to this computer?“

    

  • Cause: The folder c:\windows\system32\catroot2 is empty or/and some errors are logged in file C:\Windows\System32\catroot2\dberr.txt:
    CatalogDB: 21:39:37 28.02.2013: JetInit Corruption
    CatalogDB: 21:39:37 28.02.2013: catdbsvc.cpp at line #747 encountered JET error -583
    CatalogDB: 21:39:37 28.02.2013: catdbsvc.cpp at line #961 encountered JET error -583
    CatalogDB: 21:39:37 28.02.2013: catdbsvc.cpp at line #6636 encountered JET error -583
  • EventID 257: The following information was included with the event: -583 the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table

It seems that all services which uses the Window Jet Database engine are affected.
