Drop it,

Just harden your server according to Microsoft guidelines and install
UrlScan.
Don't forget to set up the File System permissions correctly.
Enable logging (and take a look at them every once in a while).
In IIS setup proper security policies to allow anonymous and authenticated
access. Enable what appropriate, don't forget to keep BASIC authentication
disabled.

That should give a good start.

And in the process, don't forget to give your accounts good passwords,
create a policy to enforce it and disable the guest account.

This makes the server as a whole much more reliable, as the foundation is
hardened, not a single aspect of the system. Of course a decent firewall
should be installed.
