Security Basics: Re: Windows Secure Build Checklist

["Victor A. Abrahamsen" <victorabrahamsen () gmail com>]

NIST publishes a "Guide to Securing Microsoft Windows XP Systems for IT 
Professionals" that you can find here:
http://csrc.nist.gov/itsec/guidance_WinXP.html

The documentation is specifically for XP, though, and not for Windows 
2003 - the NIST site may provide what you're looking for on other pages.
