Does anyone have any suggestions for what security steps need to be taken to
secure a basic web server in Vista running ASP.NET 2.0 pages with some
VB.NET?IISLockdown doesn't list Vista in supported products so am I right to
assume it isn't needed in Vista? Should I take it URLScan functions are
already included? I don't mind reading some articles on it if they exist, but
would appreciate any pointers n the right direction. Thanks a bunch.

In IIS 7, you will get request filtering feature which is essentially
URLScan in a way

Just restating the obvious, but note that Vista is unsupported pre-release
software, and as such is not meant for production use, just testing.
