Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Security Handbook

Summary

Security is the most important part of an administrator's job. Because Windows 2000 is such a large operating system, packed full of features, it can be an easy system to exploit by hackers. However, if you eliminate unnecessary files and services, and use the tools that come with the system to configure securely the items you do need, it is possible to create a secure server that will stand up to the best of them.
