multisite
convert from single site to multisite (network) with existing subdomains
This seems possible to me. Most of this is related to server management and not only WordPress, so probably Server Fault also has interesting info on this. On the DNS side, you would create a wildcard to the server with WordPress, and define your other subdomains to the servers that host those (some or all … Read more
How to remove Broken Link Checker widget from admin menu
The problem is probably just that your code runs before broken links checker adds the meta box. Try changing the action line to this: if(is_admin()){ add_action(‘wp_dashboard_setup’, ‘remove_dashboard_widgets’, 1000 ); } EDIT To be a little more clear, the particular issue here is that the add_action() function is running super early compared to Broken Link Checker’s … Read more
How to do Domain Mapping to Subdirectories?
Domain mapping works for both subdomains and subfolders (AKA subdirectories).

get_current_site() not returning site name
Try using get_current_site_name() to insure you get the site name so something like this: echo get_current_site_name(get_current_site());
WordPress Network for regional company websites
I am not entirely sure that it would work with sub-sub-domains. 🙂 Most of your requirements (IIS aside) seem very manageable: consistent design would be easy to achieve with shared theme (or several child themes if required); users can be easily assigned to multiple sites, using single login and account (through editing site in Network … Read more
Fixing media links after importing to multisite
Try Search and Replace plugin which is A simple search for find strings in your database and replace the string. You can search in ID, post-content, GUID, titel, excerpt, meta-data, comments, comment-author, comment-e-mail, comment-url, tags/categories and categories-description.
WordPress Installation for multi-domains with nginx and php-fpm
