I would run Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer V1.2.1 , on the IIS
server to report known vulnerabilities. It will list the possible
threats and give you instruction on how to lock it down.
Make sure you document your sets because it could possibly lock it down
--too tight.

Here is an exploit that I found


Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) vulnerable to cross-site
scripting via HTTP TRACK method
Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) servers support a HTTP
method called TRACK. The HTTP TRACK method returns the contents of
client HTTP requests in the entity-body of the TRACK response. This
behavior could be leveraged by attackers to access sensitive
information, such as cookies or authentication data, contained in the
HTTP headers of the request.
