I didn't give you any links. I asked a simple question, which you didn't
answer:
Did you remove the WSUS.MSC file as the error message suggested?

Thanks for your suggestions. I tried deleting that one as well but it did
not resolve. The problem was in the registry key value below, Where in the
ops guide it has been asked to give value in this pattern
[ServerName]\[InstanceName], it unfortunately did not work. I just gave the
server name alone, the console connected to the database. every thing is
working fine now.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\UpdateServices\Server\Setup\SqlServerName
Once again thanks for the support..
