Installing Server 2003 R2 virtual Machine

I have a need to install a Windows 2003 R2 server so I can install an instance of SQLServer 2000  to support an old process that is being upgraded,.  Is installing Windows 2003 R2 on a Windows 2012 R2 virtual machine going to work, are there any restrictions that may be a problem either hardware or software i suppose.

Why don't you create a new virtual machine for 2003 R2?

sorry what I mean is

Server with Windows 2012 Standard R2 installed already, install Windows 2003 R2 on a virtual machine, then run SQLSVR2000 on that.

Thank you
I think you'll need to use Legacy Network Adapters as I don't think 2003 R2 supports the Hyper-V Synthetic network adapters.

(I also assume you're using Hyper-V)
> you won't receive any windows update for 2003

to be accurate, you can still revive all updates already released via Windows Update services but won't expect any NEW updates for known bugs and vulnerabilities.
