A very good starting point for this is the Windows server 2003 security
guide, which can be found for free here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/prodtech/windowsserver2003/w2003hg/sgch00.mspx

You have a couple of templates for high security, as well as numerous tips
on hardening your systems.

This guide should get you started.

I must stress the need for physical security of the domain controller and
system state images of that. Whoever gets hold of that can "own" the domain
and cause considerable damage.
