The object was not found. (0x80041201)

Cause

This error occurs because the Gatherer service attempts to locate content at the root of the published SharePoint site by default.  The EBS SharePoint Add-in publishes all content to the /SharePoint virtual directory by default.  This error appears after installing Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP2 (KB953338).

Workaround

The error can be safely ignored.  Content is indexed successfully for the rest of the SharePoint site.  If you do not want the errors to appear, use the following steps:

  1. Log on to the Management Server as an administrator.
  2. Open SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration from START\All Programs\Administrative Tools.
  3. Select the Application Management tab and then select Define managed paths.
  4. Verify that the URL selected for Web Application is correct.
  5. Enter a forward slash (‘/’) character under Path: and change the Type: to Explicit inclusion.  Click OK to save the settings.image
  6. Select the Application Management tab again and then select Create site collection.
  7. Verify that the URL selected for Web Application is correct.
  8. Type an appropriate description for the Title:.
  9. Verify that Web Site Address is set to ‘/’.
  10. Choose Blank Site under Template Selection.
