Best Practice for preparing an NT box for firewall-1 installation

["Itai Dor-on" <silicom () netvision net il>]

I assume this subject was discussed & analyzed several times 
on various firewall mailing lists. 

Does anyone know a where can I find such guidelines in respect to 
minimal services, Os hardening, etc.

I thank anyone in advance for a quick response.

Cheers,
