There is a lot of overlap between all of them but I like the first two in
your list. If I had to pick one it would be Securing Windows 2000 Server. It
looks like the first half of that guide is a lot about risk management
theory and the last half is about actual recommendations. I would read
through the first part and focus on procedures in starting with chapter five
which includes most of what is covered in the Windows 2000 Security
Hardening Guide. --- Steve
