Trust between Windows Domains 2000/2003 and Windows 2012-R2
Right now we are at AD Windows 2008-R2 Forest/Domain Functional Level for Corporate internal network
We have 1 Forest Transitive Trust between our Windows 2008-R2 and Windows 2003
and we have another External Non-Transitive Trust between our Windows 2008-R2 and Windows 2000
we are planning to upgrade our Windows 2008-R2 to Windows 2012-R2 and raise Forest/Domain Functional Level to Windows 2012-R2
My question is that will this upgrade work with these 2 Trusts or if there is any compatibility issue
Thanks

Truthfully any 2000 server should be replaced. And in the rare instances they absolutely cannot be, they should exist in a vacuum. They should not be on an normal network. They should not see other machines. If they drive specialty equipment like a CNC, they don't need internet connectivity nor federated trusts.
And 2003 is nearly in the same boat. Published lifecycles matter.
