As a man of few words Laura, I have to say touche!!!
Server hardening - what a concept when each and every server has and depicts
different needs. Nothing can compensate for a solid understanding in
infrastructure and application Security needs of a network.
Correct me if I am not wrong, but many of the guides facilitate an
understanding. Then it's all up to the imagination!!!

Okay, now I'm just chuckling. Have you actually downloaded these guides?
The
Win2K3 NSA OS security guide IS the Microsoft guide. One and the same.
Copyrights intact. S A M E G U I D E.
Again, the NSA puts the MICROSOFT Win2K3 security guide on the NSA site
because it is solid, tested, and very, very well-done.

Maybe you should reconsider. There is lot better than MS when
it comes to advising on security.

The NSA. They have both guides and templates. It actually
works and is far more secure than the MS advice.
