Default forest and domain functional level is 2003 native during the
provisioning. Supported is 2000 up to including 2008 R2.

Right. Samba doesn't support all features of the 2012 (R2) schema yet.

If you need Windows DCs mixed together with Samba DCs in an AD forest,
the newest Windows DC can only be 2008 R2.

Windows 2012 and later as a member server is no problem. Simply join
them like a workstation.

Hi,

Thank you for your responses.
In our setup samba version is 3.6. Can you please let me know if samba 3.6
supports domain/forest functional levels or if there is any impact, when
samba acts as Domain Controller.

Avinesh

Hi, I am not sure just what you are asking, you initially referred to 
samba 3.6 which cannot act as an AD DC, but now you refer to samba 
acting as a DC.

What are you actually try to achieve ? a samba AD DC server, or an AD 
client ?

samba 3.6 can only act as a domain controller for NT networks. You need 
to run samba 4.x to get W2k and above domain controller capabilities.
