Which Unrelated Services to Disable on an IIS 6.0 Server

Does anyone have a list of services that are unrelated to IIS that should be
shut down? What I mean here is that these should be services that are not
needed or required that can be shut down as a means of reducing potential
vulnerability for the server as a whole.

Thanks in advance.

That really depends on what else your server does besides IIS. Here are
the best sources for that:
