Xcacls.vbs is needed for the following scenario -
SYMPTOMS
========
When you use Xcacls.exe with the /e switch to append permissions to a folder with child objects, the child objects may not inherit the permissions as expected, even though the child objects have the inheritance flag set. Additionally, when you try to view the permissions on that folder, you receive the following error message:
The permissions on <FolderName> are incorrectly ordered, which may
cause some entries to be ineffective. Press OK to continue and sort the
permissions correctly, or Cancel to reset the permissions.
CAUSE
=====
You cannot use Xcacls.exe with the /e switch to append permissions to a folder whose child objects have the inheritance flag set. This specific functionality of Xcacls.exe is incompatible with Windows 2000. For example, this issue may occur when you use the following command line to modify permissions on a folder that contains child objects that have the inheritance flag set:
xcacls <folder_name> /e /g <user_name>:<permission> /y
