What is a member server?
in Active Directory server roles, computers that function as servers within a domain can have one of two roles: member server or domain controller. A member server is a computer that runs an operating system in the Windows 2000 Server family or the Windows Server 2003 family, belongs to a domain, and is not a domain controller. Member servers typically function as the following types of servers: file servers, application servers, database servers, Web servers, certificate servers, firewalls and remote-access servers.

Is Windows server 2008 better than Windows server 2003?
There are several differences between 2003 and 2008 servers. They look different and their tools are different. For example Windows 2008 native IP-stack is ver6, which differs from Windows 2003. Management tools are different in Win 2008; some are better. Installation is easier, adding new roles to server is much easier. Many support both systems in their work and believe Windows 2008 is quite good and is an improvement to Windows 2003. Windows 2008 needs more power from the system than Windows 2003, but most problems are caused by mixing different server platforms on DC. You can mix Windows 2000, 2003 and 2008 member servers, but not DCs. There is one exception: Don't consider SBS2008. You can't upgrade it to standard, SBS is for little environment. If you have to buy new CALs, they are much expensive than standards CALs. SBS2008 is also only 64bit and you have to load in compatibility mode in normal systems. I would consider not to install 2k8 if you are supporting a network with NT legacy as 2k8 is not reverse compatible to NT.
Every Active Directory domain should have a minimum of domain controllers?
Its is recommended just because in case of one fails other server can take over the roles and the network does not crash down.
