Services to be disabled on the DB server

We got a new DB server today and we are trying to set up the server. I realize there are many services that the DB server will not need. Is there a document somewhere that talks about what services I need and the ones I don’t for a DB server? We are runnning 2003 Enterprise edition and SQL Server 2000 Enterprise on this machine and this machine has a static IP. Thanks for your time.

Gaurav- Thanks for your reply. I was looking for a document that talks about the typical services that a DB Server (running SQL Server) would need and doesn’t. Thanks
