WDSServer Service Terminates Unexpectedly with Error 1067

Hi Everyone,

I'm having a problem with the WDSServer service on our SCCM 2007 SP2 R2 Central Site Server.  This was all setup and working fine, but after a recent re-boot this service will no longer start.  I've posted this in the SCCM forum but was referred to this forum for more advanced assistance.

If I try to start the service manually I get the message:

  Could not start the Windows Deployment Services (WDS) Server service on Local Computer.
   Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.

I’ve tried enabling WDSServer logging and it shows:
