I have a Windows 2003 server that has file shares. If a windows XP client deletes a file on that share. Does it go to any sort of 'recycle bin' on the server or client?

No, not by design. Files deleted from a network share are just gone without using something like Shadow Copy. See this question for some more ideas on how to provide this type of functionality.

By default, no. There are addons that promise to do that. Or you could add shadow copies to the server volume so you can roll back.

You are listing 'recovery' as a tag, so I guess this question is for recovery of data that has been deleted by accident. It is not practical in most cases to provide a 'recycle-bin'-functionality.

Instead I suggest you look into shadow copies for the server volume to provide a convenient method to access data that has been modified or deleted.

It got deleted on the server, but it got not stored in the recycle bin of the server. You need to take a tool undelete plus or something like this.

Here's an article on Volume Shadow Copy, or "Previous Versions", as it is labelled in the Explorer UI. Should be enough to get you started.

You can activate the recycle bin on a network share if GPOs are used to redirect "My Documents" to the share, anything deleted from "My Documents" will end up in the recycle bin.
