We are using a Server 2003 domain. I've found the instructions for installing the Active Directory snapin for Server 2012 and earlier:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732110.aspx. However the DLL it mentions (schmmgmt.dll) isn't present on our 2012 R2 server.
I've found information on 2012 R2 AD Administration Centre, but as our domain is 2003 based I presume none of that is relevant.
Can I run the AD snap-in on this server, or do I have to use an older server?

It's right where it has always been. The Active Directory Schema mmc snap-in works the same way in 2012 R2 as it always has.
You have to install the Remote Server Administration tools first on any server on which you want to use these snap-ins. Server Manager -> Add Roles and Features -> Features:
Then run the command:
Then start an MMC console, and then add the AD Schema snap-in.
They make it a little more difficult to get to because you can easily do irreversible damage to your AD domain with it if you don't know what you're doing.
