I do not have a doc to point you to
The best tool for restoring an entire server is BESR / SSR. Short of that, the BUE restore process for a 2008 DC would be the same as another server.
- install a full OS
- set the local admin username/password to match the domain admin credentials if you can
- install the BUE Agent
- set the IP to be what it will be later
- restore everything you can from BUE into the server
You really should look into BESR / SSR or start using the Microsoft Backup for the image portion of your recovery process.

Search for the terms "bare metal restore" and review those directions before starting.
