Microsoft Security Advisor

Microsoft has also released a short note about NT security concerns regarding SMB and HTTP. In short their response is to use proxy servers and firewalls for now :( However they have a longer white paper about their future security plans. This is a pretty good high-level discussion of NT 5.0 security - lots of stuff about the directory and fine grained access control, Kerberos 5 as the default, SSL/PCT for Internet stuff, and a couple of things about DCE and RPC.

This white paper describes how SSPI APIs can be used directly, as well as through other application interfaces, such as DCOM, secure RPC, WinSock 2.0, and WinInet.

This guide to Securing Windows NT Installation appears like it might be useful. It includes descriptions of a number of registry settings.
