SharePoint 2007 and Event ID 5785

This is the latest Errors clogging the application logs on the MOSS servers. The error looks like the following:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Office SharePoint Server
Event Category: Publishing Cache
Event ID: 5785
Date: 3/7/2008
Time: 10:07:17 PM
User: N/A
Computer: Server
Description:
Unable to connect publishing custom string handler for output caching.

I’ve seen the following solutions posted on other sites.
1. This error was resolved by removing the PublishingHttpModule from the ReportServer and Reports sub-sites of my MOSS site.

2. “Looks like it was the Metalogix Team Migration extensions. No errors since uninstall.”

My Plan:

Well we did use the Metalogix extensions but really have no option to uninstall them. I’m hesitant to remove publishing but will probably give it a go if I can’t attribute the errors to the MetaLogix extensions during some after-hours testing. I don’t think these errors are really causing an issue with functionality other than filling the app log. Anyone have other ideas or info on the impact of these event id’s?

I’ll update you in a few days when I figure it out on our install.
