You can try this regex:

^(?=.*?[A-Z])(?=.*?[a-z])(?=.*?[0-9]).{8,}$

PS: It meets all conditions and I didn't include characters mentioned in section e. since you wrote May contain and dot will allow all of those.

UPDATE: As per edited question: Use this regex to meet conditions (a) - (f)

^(?=.*?[A-Z])(?=.*?[a-z])(?=.*?[0-9])(?:(?!.*?(.)\1).){8,}$

I would highly recomment not using regex for meeting condition (g) since it will be an awfully long regex.
