2015年8月4日 · The Forest name and the Forest Root Domain name is the same. It isn't possible to have a Forest name differ from the Forest Root Domain name. You can create a child domain named domain.example.com but isn't possible to have a Forest name that differs from the Forest Root Domain name.

2015年4月12日 · Well, don't use the TLD for the forest root domain. Instead of contoso.com, use contosoad.contoso.com or something like that for the AD forest root namespace. As far as general reasons for having multiple forests: Test environments (as you already mentioned) are ideal for a separate forest. The production forests should never trust the test ...

2013年4月17日 · The first domain in the forest is knows as the "forest root domain" and shares a name with the forest. So, in the configuration that you're describing, you'll actually need three domains. The forest root will be abc.com, then you can have two new tree-root domains named xyz.com and def.com.

2015年6月21日 · Each Forest is a completely independent entity of the other Forest. Reverse lookup DNS zones aren't required for AD and I'm hard pressed to envision a scenario where rDNS zone resolution across Forests would be needed or desired. Can you elaborate a little more on your environment and your specific needs regarding DNS? –

The DNS server [IP address] on [adapter name] must be able to resolve names in the primary DNS domain zone; The DNS server [IP address] on [adapter name] must be able to resolve names in the forest root domain name zone; The TechCenter articles suggest to use a proper DNS Server - that's pointless when I try to configure a proper DNS Server.

Well you're asking the questions at the right time (the design phase). My gut would be to go with the secondary forest now if there's a probability that an application in the future is going to require a GC.
