Event ID: 7362: The super user account utilized by the cache is not configured

Hi all,

Today, I’ll explain how I solve the Event ID 7362 concerning the Publishing Cache.

I made a copy/paste of the used explanation from Stephan Albert Bren blogspot.

On his page, there is the stsadm version that I didn’t used, because I prefer to use PowerShell version.

Also, check the references at the bottom of his post, referring to Microsoft TechNet and other blogs.

Big thanks to Stephan for his clear explanation of the root cause of this event ID.

$w.Update()

Close the shell
