Link is specific for 2008. I have 2000, 2005 flavors too. Are they supported in 2012 server?

We use,

1. SQL 2000, DTS

2. SQL 2005, DTS

3. SQL 2008, SSIS, SSRS

Software requirements for SQL Server 2005 which doesn't mention Windows 2012 and has listed dependencies to run it on Windows 2008

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.90).aspx

Based on that i would say SQL server 2000 a definite no-no, same for SQL Server 2005

Check the following link for Microsoft support:

http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/?sort=PN&alpha=sql

Assess the risk of continuing with old SQL Server version and communicate to the client/owner.

However it's better to check all this in test environment with respect to your application for various SQL on WINDOWS 2012.

thanks. Then the conclusion is ....

SQL 2000 on Windows 2012 - No

SQL 2005 on Windows 2012 - No (from the given link, it is supported till windows 2008)

SQL 2008 on Windows 2012 - Yes (along with the SSIS, SSRS, SSAS)

Everyone agrees?

yes

If you try and run the installer on a Windows 2012 server it should fail
