I have recently come across the Department of Defence website where they provide free and unclassified Windows Security Guides. From Windows 2000 to Windows 7, they provide a set of checklists and "STIG" which stands for Security Technical Implementation Guides.

Having only checked the Windows 7 "STIG", I found it a useful resource when one can get some ideas on how to secure/validate a Windows 7 server configuration.
