Hello,

joining a Windows Sever 2012R2 to a Samba Domain would work but it will 
breaks the AD Replication,

(https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Joining_a_Windows_Server_2012_/_2012_R2_DC_to_a_Samba_AD)

In the Section "Warning" there are two Bugs and the latest entry in
Bug

It is very likely that page needs rewriting, Samba can now use the 
2012R2 schema (69), as proved by this:

root at dc4:~# ldbsearch -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb -b 
'cn=Schema,cn=Configuration,dc=samdom,dc=example,dc=com' -s base 
objectVersion
# record 1
dn: CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com
objectVersion: 69

The problem is that you need a 2008 or 2008R2 in the domain for WMI to 
join a 2012 DC, unless someone knows a workaround.
