Spontaneous permission changes-How?Why? TimeTraveller 09-23-2005

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.
