I was wondering if anyone had any links to guidelines for hardening either NT or 2000.
I would also be interested in hardening Solaris, but that is not quite as important at this point as the MS OS's.
I'm having to draw up a set of standards and "best practices" for securing our servers. So if there is any thing that is online that may help me, or at least point me in the right direction I would be greatful. Thanks in advance.

you should check out Ms Security whitepapers at the knowledgebase.
I has all the guidelines you need.
