Yep, should work just fine. I set a 2012 server up against a 2003 DC a few weeks ago.

I have an urgent need to put in a 2012R2 server in a 2003 domain. The 2012R2 server is to be a database server, so it's not a domain controller which just about all the information I've been able to find pertains to. So, 2012R2 member server in a 2003 Domain with SBS DC. Domain level 2003. Will this work?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

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.

Windows Server 2012

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
