I don't think so. There is a report out there from Microsoft that
icacls is broken in this regard:

I am testing now to see if W2K08, when accessed via SMB1 gives the
same behavior.
If so, then I think we should do what Windows does. Especially since a
combination of PowerShell scripting and SDDL will do what the customer
wants to do, I believe (PS Scripting to get the SID for a user.)
