server won't update from WSUS and getting error 0x80070002

[Theodore Long]

One of my server is not getting updated from WSUS server, It gives an error "EEHndlr WARNING: Failed to populate ServiceStartup entries in Cache: error 0x80070002" in WindowsUpdate.log. I have tried renaming "%Systemroot%\system32\wbem\Repository" folder as well as "%WinDir%\SoftwareDistribution" folder but no avail. Any idea what might be refusing it to install update??
