I have a client that is using SBS2003 and was setup by another person. The
system is setup to using roaming profiles. All the users have the same
permissions on all the shared folders. When a user deletes something on the
server, it will do one of two things. It will either tell them they don't
have access to delete or will delete the item, but after the next restart of
the clients machine it will restore the deleted item. This is truly
strange. Other than removing the roaming profile from the users, is there
another work around.

SBS is its own beast in many ways and you'll get more expert help from the
SBS gurus. I'm xposting my reply to that group.

Which are... ?

The roaming profile *share* itself should have everyone=full control.
By default, when a roaming profile is created the first time, only the user
him/herself will have any rights therein (full control) in NTFS security.
You can set something in GP to add the administrators group to the roaming
profile (won't be retroactive, tho).

Is that the exact error message? Event logs? Rsop.msc results?

That means the profile isn't syncing right....could be too large, maybe.

Event log errors would help - and make sure they have folder redirection
enabled via group policy, or the profiles will likely be humongous - in SBS
there's a checkbox for this and it will redirect the my documents, etc., to
the user's shared folder. You could instead choose to configure this via
your own custom GPO (my preference).

I also recommend downloading & installing the latest version of the User
Profile Hive Cleanup Service from MS on all your workstations.
