It depends on the behavior of icalcs.exe ...
If it pipes error content to stderr instead of stdout, then it should work. (the "2" is the key to this syntax.) If it pipes both the success and error messages above to stdout then it won't work.
However, if this is the case, and if you don't care about the success messages, you can still do it like this:
for /f "tokens=*" %%i (users2.txt) do icacls.exe D:\test\%%i /grant %%i:F Administrator:F | find/v "uccess" >>error.log

note that I filtered out "uccess" instead of "Success" or "success" because I didn't know which of the latter two is the real output.

2 >>error.log worked great, thanks.

JOHN: success
BILL: success
JOE: Success
BOB: No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.
MARY: Success
FRED: No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.
JANE: Success
I only want to output the one's where it says no mapping.
