Error Starting Certificate Authority after upgrading in place from Server 2003 Enterprise (32 bit) to Server 2008 Enterprise (32 bit).

Question

Hope this is the place to seek help with Active Directory Certificate Services.  We recently upgraded in place an issuing CA in our lab from 2003 to 2008 and the upgrade of the OS was successful but the CA service now will not start. 
The error is:
Error 0xc8000222 (ESE: -546)
More info.  We did stop the CA service prior to doing the upgrade.

Answer 1

Answering my own question with the hopes to help someone else. 
The problem has something to do with the logs for the certificate database.  There is some sort of a format conflict after upgrading to 2008.
To get around this error, and get the Certificate Authority service to start, remove all the logs from the C:\Windows\system32\CertLog directory that should be where your .edb database file lives, leave the database file there
This worked for us on three of four of our CA servers, the other one had a database that went down in a dirty state, so we had to use ESEUTIL utility to fix the database.
NOTE: there is no ESEUTIL utility on the CA servers, so we had to copy our database to an Exchange server in our test lab, then run ESEUTIL /MH to see what the Status is, it may say Dirty or Clean, then we ran ESEUTIL / P (P for Repair, go figure I know
right) anyway that fixed the database, so we copied it back over to the CA and started the service
hope this helps some of you out, we have a case opened with Microsoft Technical Support on this issue and will update this thread with their feedback as well once they get back to us (it has been a week already)
