Access Denied with Windows Server 2008 and MOSS when Crawling


“Access is denied. Check that the Default Content Access Account has access to this content, or add a crawl rule to crawl this content. (The item was deleted because it was either not found or the crawler was denied access to it.)”

I have gotten this error on other deployments but recently I applied on the typically solutions with no success. I eventually came across this blog that ended up resolving my issue.
