Hello,

I'm getting ready to deploy a website on a Windows Server 2003 box.
I've been looking around for ways to make this server as secure as
possible, by settings in Windows Server 2003 and by 3rd party
anti-virus and software firewall. The server will be running crystal
reports enterprise 9, sql server 2000 and will be scaning emails for
content. If any of you have any suggestions (aside from moving to a
linux server, not an option :)), it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
che
