Installing Windows server 2019 in a Server 2012 Domain
I want to know if its possible to install Windows server 2019 in a Server 2012 Domain in such a way that i will not have to change the Domain controller.
If possible, what are the requirements and dependencies to accomplish this?

- Adding in Windows 2019 member servers do not require that you upgrade the functional level of the domain. However, there might be a role or two that will require a 2019 domain controller be present. Also, you can not directly upgrade 2012 to 2019. Below is the Windows Upgrade Center link that gives you all the details and tips.

Yes, can do. Nothing special, just join the domain as normal.
