How can be hardened Win2k12 and Win2k8 for IBM Domino 9.0.1 (Mail, Traveler, Sametime).

Background is: Our System Hosting is responsible for preparing Windows servers. It seems that they have one image with all enabled services. We want to tune Windows server and disable MS services not needed by Domino server. Do you have some tips? Is there some related IBM docs?

Thanx for idea sharing...

Disabling Microsoft services

Disabling MS services is not a great idea. For performance reason you can disable. If you do not use remote desktop(RDP) you can disable this also Print spooler if you don't use printer or print to PDF.

Uh? "Disabling MS services is not a great idea."

That's a pretty broad statement. If you get a server and it has IIS service enabled you'll want to disable it. If you have File and Print services enabled, you'll want to disable it. Why would you not disable MS Services that you don't use?
