Active Directory compatibiity with older Windows desktops

-

we have 1 old windows 2000 desktop among our windows 7 desktops.  planning our upgrade windows server 2008 r2 active directory (and maybe ad 2012 within year) , wonder if there problems old w2k desktop participating in domain.

afaik, can join windows 2000 machine domain running on ws 2008 r2 however, minimum service pack level of the windows 2000 machine need sp3 or higher i believe.

if join windows 2000 machine domain, newer set of group policies introduced ws 2008 r2 not work on machine.

also refer below kb article

as windows 2000 has become more or less obsolete now, might want upgrade 1 particular machine newer version.

i doubt if ws 2012 ad support windows 2000 member computer ( couldn't find official reference though ).
