    Not sure why you are making so many changes/modifications to the restore options.

    If this is restore to different hardware, leave restore anyware enabled. If you are using the system (sv2i) option, you can restore everything in one hit. Just ensure that the system reserved partition is set active, everything else should stay as it is (no need to make changes). You can disable verify though, if you believe the recovery points are ok.

    Can you also confirm the version of the SRD you are using.

Well I would say you do not have to get into the three hidden options :

Delete existing drivers , Run minisetup and prompt for the drivers until it is a Domain Controller.

Also the only recommendation is to uncheck "Run minisetup" while restore domain controllers.

I will prefer restoring the image using sv2i and keep the default hidden options while restore is this is a Standard WIndows Server 2008 R2.
