How do I secure a Windows Server 2003/2008 Fileserver?

What are the steps most systems administrators take for securing file servers? What security monitors do you set etc?

Proper permissions is one of the biggest things for a file server.  Antivirus is also a big thing as client computers can be notorious for becoming infected and spreading via shares which gets other client machines infected.

I don't quite understand what you are referring to by security monitors.  Possibly audit logs?

yes, i meant audit logs.  do you use the built in security auditing or third party? how would a virus infect a share and then spread to other computers?
