Hi,

I've build a new database (sql 2005 running in windows server 2003) from scratch and want to harden it. Patch all updates for windows server 2003, security configuration (is there a basic/default configuration for this, can't search for any), rename and disable 'sa' account, run MBSA, what would be the next step? And how will I know that I've already hardened my database? Can you give specific checklist?

Addl info:
Running in a domain.
