thanks in advance.

you can directly upgrade 2003 2012. dfl should 2003.also need 64 bit hardware coz 2012 not support 32 bit hardware.

you need separate hardware upgration. need build & deploy new 2012 dc.

install replica windows server 2012 domain controller in existing domain

after completeing upgradation can tranfer fsmo form 2003 2012.

be careful when transfered pdc coz time server well.if performing transfer, have reconfigure old target dc use default windows time service configuration, i.e. domain hierarchy. execute following command on old target dc:

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /reliable:no /update
