We should be able to join and be joined by a 2012 server thanks to the work to upgrade the schema (patches in just some defaults to tweak) and the adprep stuff under samba-tool domain functionalprep However we can't be a 2012R2 functional level server yet, or in the near future, as we do not implement the kerberos features that implies. I'm still hoping to upgrade our Heimdal (perhaps SambaXP will help re- start that process) but that is only one part of the task.

We really should have the canonical info in a wiki somewhere, but sady there is https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Joining_a_Windows_Server_2012_/_2012_R2_DC_to_a_Samba_AD but of course it mentions none of the above. Anther task for another day I suppose.
