If you’re interested in some guides for further hardening your Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2 installations, Microsoft has just released their Common Criteria Supplemental Admin Guidance for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
What is Common Criteria?
From Wikipedia:
Common Criteria is a framework in which computer system users can specify their security functional and assurance requirements, vendors can then implement and/or make claims about the security attributes of their products, and testing laboratories can evaluate the products to determine if they actually meet the claims. In other words, Common Criteria provides assurance that the process of specification, implementation and evaluation of a computer security product has been conducted in a rigorous and standard manner.

Installing SharePoint Server 2010 RTM on Windows Server 2008 R2 can bring a slew of errors related to the TaxonomyPicker.ascx user control. For some reason (<cough>rushed product out the door</cough>), this particular control has some HTML encoded text in it’s control defintion.
- Navigate to /14/ControlTemplates/TaxonomyPicker.ascx user control.
- Open the user control in a text editor and locate the first line.
<%@ Control className="TaxonomyPickerControl" Language="C#" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.TaxonomyPicker,Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
- Find the character string , and replace with a comma ‘,’ (without quotes).
<%@ Control className="TaxonomyPickerControl" Language="C#" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.TaxonomyPicker,Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
