I'm very late to the game (literally) and just now getting into Call of Duty Black Ops multiplayer. I'd like to be able to setup a dedicated game server am looking for the basic steps to install, and configure the server.

I've found this video that shows someone starting a server from a batch file, but I don't have this file in my installation. I used Steam to download the multiplayer version of the game.

Assuming I have a server class machine with Windows 2012 installed ready to go, what steps do I need to take to install and securely configure a Call of Duty Black Ops server?
