The error I’m receiving is: Access is denied. Verify that either the Default Content Access Account has access to this repository, or add a crawl rule to crawl this repository. If the repository being crawled is a SharePoint repository, verify that the account you are using has "Full Read" permissions on the SharePoint Web Application being crawled. (The item was deleted because it was either not found or the crawler was denied access to it.)
I believe this had something to do with changing the Alternate Access Mappings. This error and the change to the mappings happened around the same time. Of course I tried to change the mapping back to what it was previously, with no luck. Googled the morning away and then I found a regedit from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/896861
After a reboot, I reset all crawled content and now I’m able to crawl my Sharepoint site. Was very strange problem to me because I didn’t get this error when crawling my fileshares. With that info, I knew the credentials were fine, so I had to move on to another cause. The fix seems to be working great. It’s been running good for about 48 hours with multi-reboots for good measure. Please read carefully and make sure that this applies to you before implementing this fix.
