The National Security Agency in the United States has posted their 60 Minute Network Security Guide.
This is good start for system hardening.

Bitlocker – A Best Practice Guide
Here is a best practice guide on WindowsSecurtiy.com on how to install and configure bitlocker. If you have a laptop and have Vista installed, it is not a bad idea to install BitLocker and get it configured and running. If your laptop was ever stolen you could breathe a little easier knowing that data was protected.
The second part to this guide will cover off configuring BitLocker from Active Directory and to manage BitLocker in terms of key recovery.
Update to Windows Vista Moving Domains
Back in November I talked about trying to move my Windows Vista RC1 machine to a new domain and it didn’t go too well.

An update to this: I got talking to Pierre Roman who is a Technical Account Manager with Microsoft at the Vista Launch in Ottawa on December 7th. I knew him in his past life as a consultant with Quanara, as they did a lot of consulting work with the City of Kingston when I worked there. I was telling him about my mess moving my Vista box from the one domain to the other and the circumstances surrounding why. He mentioned to me that he thought there was a RC1 bug which caused this issue but that it was fixed since RTM.
I haven’t had time to revisit this issue since it first happened but I will try to get back to it at some point in the virtual environment with the RTM version and see if it is still an issue.
