It depends on what you mean by 2012.  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. 

I hope this clarifies,

Thanks for that Andrew, I based my post on something Tim posted earlier 
in another post.

No worries!  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.
