Microsoft Windows Security Guides

Clients often ask for resources on Windows security, like checklists or guides. The NSA guides are frequently cited, and apply to routers, SQL Server 2000 and Oracle 91 Database Server. The Center for Internet Security offers many free benchmark documents.

After seeing this article I went to the source at microsoft.com. I found these resources:

• NT 4 Server Security Resources


• Maintain Security with Windows 2000


• Maintain Security with Windows Server 2003

I'm trying to find a newsgroup which posts customer experiences installing new hotfixes and service packs. microsoft.public.security is one option, but I'm still looking.
