I use sub domains. I use one for the DC and one forthe Exchange server.
I've never heard of that problem. How are users with laptops connecting from home? We use VPN to connect to the company lan and I always use the same laptop from work and home with same login.
You can leave the printers setup as you have them.
You'll probably have to open the ports. Windows Firewall on 2008 is real picky about exceptions. I had to allow the connection to the program and also open up the ports used.
From what I've read the problem you're having happens when installing on a box with an Asus motherboard. The only fix I have seen was to change from sata mode to ide. Since that didn't work maybe resetting cmos and then configuring bios before install.
You buy the domain.
You setup Windows 2008 DNS and create a zone for the domain you purchased.
You assign an IP to the domain in DNS.
Create a directory for the domain files.
Open IIS manager and add the domain to the server.
If you don't buy a domain Windows 2008 will not create it.

You're right. I went to technet myself searching for the issue. I'll keep looking for an answer in case this scenario comes up to bite me.
So far my clients want clean upgrades to 2008.
