This should keep you busy reading for a while. They are documents to
download. I suspect they are in Word format but I haven't downloaded them
myself.

Windows Server 2003 Deployment Kit: Deploying Internet Information Services
(IIS) 6.0
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&familyid=f31a5fd5-03db-46d2-9f34-596edd039eb9

BTW - Linux isn't more secure ..some just think it is,...it is kinda like a
"religion" with Prophets, Preachers, and Heretics.

If hackers spent as much time beating on Linux/Apache as they do Windows/IIS
there would have been just as many vulnerabilities found,....but they
aren't, so those things go unoticed.
