I don't have any Windows server operating systems installed right now so
I can't check. On my machine I can set a Hosts Deny which will do
exactly what you want, but that won't help you because this is Linux.
I'm sure Windows servers must have the equivalent. Try posting your
question in one of the servers groups such as:

microsoft.public.windows.server.general

Sorry I wasn't able to help you with this.
