server hardening and security checklist

[wuzzle]

Hi,

I have been asked to come up with a checklist for junior techs who
build out servers. We are concerned about hardening and using best
practices to secure Windows servers. I am not authorized to run scans
against the machines and thus I need them to have some form of
accountiblilty. I suppose the closest thing I can compare it to is a
paper audit. Anyway, any advice, template or suggestions would be
helpful.
