Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

1) Does your DR site have live users running on it at present?
2) In the event of complete failure at Main-Site will users be relocated to DR-Site? Or will they be still on Main-Site network?
The reason I ask these questions, if you have a domain controller that needs its IP changing, you will have a major headache updating sites and services, DNS, DHCP. You would then need to point your Main Site's DHCP helper to your backup site on your network device as well as ensure routing etc flowed correctly and DNS lookup would follow.
The easiest solution assuming users will stay at Main Site would be to fire up the VM on a local machine at Main Site (I have run a 2012 domain controller from my Dell Laptop before). The failover that you are proposing will not work easily.
How big a network are we talking about?
