To check the time left on your current evaluation period run the Slmgr.vbs script that resides in the System32 folder. Patience is a Virtue.The activation is good for 60-days but you can extend it three times by using the rearm command, which will extend the original 60-day evaluation period by up to 180 days for a total possible evaluation time of 240 days. Here are some article that provide step-by-step instructions with screenshot showing how to setup a domain controller (applies to Windows 2008/2008 R2) You need a windows server license to begin with, looks like you have this already.

The free SQL Server instead of the $800 Standard version. The local client is not having any issues in using the accounting package.
In order to complete the accounting software install, we opted to install Express Advanced which seemed to install fine and completed the accounting installation. When we (the accounting software technical guy, since I am a novice with Server) attempted to install SQL Server we ran into the invalid edition issue. The configuration was supposed be the server, a local client running Windows 7 and a remote client using VPN.
We needed to install SQL Server so that we could run the accounting system we purchased. I have a PC that I installed Windows Server on, did all the maintenance.
