Similar to #55, should we cover hardening IIS/Windows machines for those not familiar with the two or at least links to more reading? I ask b/c this was brought up to me in private discussions and it was pointed out not everyone is familiar with Asp.NET and how things work there.

I think covering hardening is opening a Pandora's box a little. What if the advice given is wrong or out of date? Every installation is a 'special snowflake'; providing specifics may be problematic to adapt.

Chocolatey has always been about giving the community and customers the information to help themselves. In that respect, I feel we should point people to official documentation that they can use to help themselves and adapt to their specific situation. As we don't recommend that Simple-Server is used in any production scenarios beyond the most basic, providing links to official documentation would seem a balanced solution.
