What is an Active Directory forest?
Rating:
An Active Directory forest is a collection of multiple domain trees that do not use a contiguous namespace. It is the outermost security boundary of Active Directory. It integrates the independently operating divisions in an organization to ensure smooth communication among all of them, thereby simplifying the management of multiple domains. Each Active Directory forest has an Enterprise Admins group and a Schema Admins group. Members of these groups have complete authority over all the domain trees within the forest. Since all the domains in a single forest share a common schema, any modification performed at the forest level automatically applies to all of its member domain trees.
