It should communicate without any problems. What kind of issues are you having? Also, more info about the environment: How many domain controllers and what type?

thx jrhelgeson
single windows 2012 domain controller
application is websense
no other domain controller
when trying to add windows 2008 r2 as another domain controller I get schema errors about compatibility

Oh, what is your forest/domain functionality level set to? You'll find this in Active Directory Users & Computers.

windows 2012 is the domain functional and Forest Functional level

I actually found an article about the domain function levels and downgraded the AD to Windows 2008 functionality
the websense error was basic, the logon agent and DC agent on the Windows 2008 R2 server could not communicate with the AD controller
