What OS?
Domain or work-group?
Hosting web-sites? Applications? Files?

In addition to technical replies from Windows security experts, consider
these simple steps:

Remove built-in Administrator account (local or domain) from Remote Desktop
Users, and (if you want remote administration) add an equal-privilege account
with a complex name and a long pass-phrase.

Every day, monitor the Event Viewer Security Log for failed log-in attempts.
The price of freedom is constant vigilance.

Windows Xp Pro, No web services, no mail no domain, it is only a local file
repository for an office,
eg where to store daily backups, ecc. It aHas Raid 1 and managed backup to
Tape.

I Want that NOBODY access the pc, but there are some IT engeenier / Pc
technician that could try to access it
phisically or via lan only for joke. I Want to DENY any access to the
server.
So i set up any updates regularly, used secunia and ntfchk to harden
security.
No other ports are open , only for file transfer / view via tcp/ip microsoft
protocol.

Thankx in advice.

Wow, yeah, based on that tiny hint of information, that's sure one
secure puppy. As for servers though, there is NO SUCH THING as a 100%
server except for the ones not connected to the wan or lan or an "an".
If you think that little bit makes for security you have a LONG ways to
go! I would suggest getting some research under way.
