OK so I will add the robots.txt file to the root of my server.
 
What you were saying is that it was trying to view my calendar as it is viewable to guests but that is as far as it got due to everything else having registered only permissions?

That is correct, Google will only index the page seeing the same as a Guest can, as the Google spider doesn't have the ability to login into forums before indexing them.

If you don't allow Guest Access then Google can not index your forum.

There are ways around this that some sites employ, but it is quite complex to setup and requires getting the IP addresses of all the Google Bots, then using IIS to grant these IP addresses access.

You still then have problems with Google cashing the page so that people can use the Google Cache to view content they shouldn't as well as people faking IP addresses of Google Bots to gain Access.

I'm sure there is more on this if you do a search on Google, but it not something that is easy to setup and will take allot of research into the subject to get it right.
