Hi-

I'm a unix / Mac guy. I agreed to set up a test installation of W2K
Advanced Server because the M$ rep has always been nice. It's going
to be in a DMZ so I'm not as scared as I would be, but my impression
is that windows in general is full of holes out of box (at least from
the number of command.exe's in my apache logs it would SEEM so), and
I don't know where to start when it comes to windows security-

Where is a site I can go to that lists all the updates / patches I
need to get started. Any general advice?
