How to setup a dedicated Call of Duty Black Ops Server?
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?

If you intend to run your own CoD BO server it is required to have it hosted by a specific server provider (source). The only allowed way is to order a server at GameServers.com, which will be set up for you on their end.
Since it is not allowed to run it from your own machine the plain answer is: No way. There is no way to do it legally.
