I've looked at both the NSA and Center for Internet Security sites and they
don't have any checklists for Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7.  Thoughts
on where to find checklists for these two operating systems?

Thanks.

The baseline that we used were the NSA Security Configuration Guides:
http://www.nsa.gov/ia/guidance/security_configuration_guides/operating_syste
ms.shtml

They do a great job of telling you what settings to change for various
scenarios. These, of course, should be modified to your environment, but
these are a great jumping-off point.

Hi,
As part of a PCI-DSS risk assessment I need to come up with security
standards for all of our critical network devices, including windows
servers. I've been directed to NIST publications and others but I'm finding
that they are general documents rather than specific ones regarding what
settings need to be configured, i guess like a checklist. can you recommend
a site that might have them? i continue to search as i submit this
posting...thanks! any information is appreciated. happy new year!!!
