I don't think that Macromedia provides a recommended configuration for
permissions, but what I like to do, personally, is to run CF as a specific
low-privileged user, grant that user account change permissions to the CF
install directory and read permissions to the web root (or anywhere else you
have .cfm files). This is quite easy with CFMX, but less easy with CF 5, as
you may have to change registry permissions and a few other odds and ends.
There's nothing really specific about Windows Server 2003 with regard to
this, as opposed to Windows 2000.
As for MS SQL Server, there's plenty of documentation out there on how to
set that up, but I'd recommend that you limit your SQL Server network
protocols to TCP/IP and disable other network protocols such as Named Pipes.
You'll probably also want to use untrusted connections; if you use trusted
connections, you'll have to run the CF service as the trusted user, so you'd
have to use the same credentials for all the CF applications on that server.
