    I've got a chronic problems with a 2003 server domain. The file/folder
    permissions on the users server shares are spontaneously deleting all
    permissions except admininstrators - FullControl. (These are File
    permissions NOT share permissions I'm referring to )

       We know the users aren't doing it because they aren't knowledgeable
    enough. We turned on auditing, and sure enough while we are sitting there
    chatting with the user, the permissions are automagically changed by the
    users account.

       The only way we've been able to fix is blow away the account and create a
    new one from scratch and that seems to solve the problem, but it's most
    worrying to have a renegade process like that on the loose.

       This is a DC with a single server and 10 WS and the users have roaming
    profiles with file synchronization on.

       It's well protected with SonicWall firewall and McAfee Net antivirus
    subscription, and user accounts are locked down tight so they can't do
    anything execpt work.
