MS SQL resinstallation on WSUS server.

Hello Team,

I have WSUS server running on windows 2003. it is having SQL express edtion installed on it for the DB.

SQL on that server got corrupted. SQL service is not appearing in services.msc. i have database on C drive.

at this moment i am getting error on WSUS as database cannot be connected. but if i approve the patches it is working properly.

Question.:-

if i reinstall SQL express will it keep exiting approvals intact or that will get affected?

Regards,
