Server hardening by applying security template. Server 2012 and 2008

Hi,

I am new to server hardening.

My boss ask me to harden a server
I heard from my boss that I need to download microsoft security template and import that template into the server.

Where can I download this template? He mention you just go to MMC and add this template into the policy. There is setting like minimum security etc. And you can compare the settings

I will be doing server hardening. I need to implement the most secure server hardening. How do you guys do it? I have the document from Center for internet security to implement the hardening. It shows all the steps but there are like a few hundred settings to change. Is there any efficient way of implementing a hardening.

I searched on the internet and there is the security configuration and Windows Server 2012 Security Baseline but I do not find the security templates to download.

For windows server 2008 and 2012.

Please give me your advise.

Appreciate your reply and thanks a lot.

I have not able to find a reference for 2012 R2, and specifically for ADFS 3.0 and WAP which are new in R2.
Any ideas?
