secure and monitor Win2003

Hi, I have been read-only on this forum for a while. Now, when I got a dedicated Win 2003 server for me to run I need an expert advice.

Currently I use ipMonitor to monitor events (RD logins from my IP only, application and security errors and warnings), disk space, service up time, connectivity. IPSentry is my second choice (will test it later).

I plan to use Kerio WinRoute Firewall to block traffic to any port except 80, 443, RDP.
But WinRoute can not distinguish attack on IIS form legitimate traffic.

My questions are:
1 - What is/are the best software to lock down and monitor stand alone dedicated web server.
2 – Please, point me to the direction of few good forums for Win2003 admins.


Would greatly appreciate any feedback.
