1) Can I use xcacls or cacls to strip all permissions off of the home
folders except the owner's? Can I use any wildcard for that?

I would try CACLS /T /C /G domain\owner:W
[this removes all permissions except Write permissions for owner. There may
be a security context relating to creator/owner in a domain, but there is
none on my 2000 workstation outside of the domain. If there's no
creator/owner security context, then you'll have to replace Owner with the
actual login ID of the user that owns the folder, e.g. by a batch file or
other script.]

2) Can I use xcacls to just remove the full control attribute and leave
everybody at modify on their own folders?

CACLS /T /E /C /P domain\user:W
[this edits the existing permissions for user and replaces them with Write
permissions.]
CACLS /T /E /C /G domain\user:W
[this edits the existing permissions to grand the user Write permissions. I
might recommend this instead of the above command as this is sure to apply
permissions to every file and subdirectory in the folder.]

In either case you'll need to replace user with the actual user ID
associated with the folder. Hope I understood the question.
