Matt, I hope I don't sound harsh, but you're asking questions like "How do I create the same solutions in UTM as I used in Netgear" instead of "What is the best approach in the UTM to dealing with Situation A?" In fact, the UTM is so much more powerful and elegant that no such detective work as you had to do with the Netgear should be required. The UTM is incredibly easy to administer and maintain, but a sloppy initial design can handicap those advantages. First, a story...
Over 20 years ago, my company landed a project with 100+ sites and 3500+ workstations. The only problem was that we were a Novell shop, and this was to be our first foray into Microsoft networking. I told my engineering manager to hire the best guy he could find to help us design the solution. We wound up importing a consultant that worked for us for a year. He cost us almost four times what the manager made, but it was money well spent. It wasn't the first time, or the last, that I brought in someone that could teach us the world-class approach to a technology, but it's the most striking example.
Start by consulting DNS Best Practice and the Rulz. If you have Active Directory, I would suggest leaving DHCP on the Windows server. Otherwise, you can create static assignments in UTM Network Definitions for UTM DHCP. In any case, decide on a standard naming scheme for Host/Network definitions like "Printer HP Deskjet 6700 - Pam" so that you can search on "Pam" or "HP" or "jet" or "Printer" to quickly locate what you need.
