INF211x Windows Server 2016: Infrastructure - Forest

Visual representation of a forest containing the adatum.com and the tailspintoys.com domains
An AD DS forest is the highest-level container object in the AD DS hierarchy. A forest is a collection of one or more AD DS trees. Each AD DS tree will contain one or more AD DS domains. The AD DS forest is the outermost boundary for the AD DS security and administration. 
The forest root domain is unique.
The first domain that is created in the forest is called the forest root domain. The forest root domain contains a few objects that do not exist in other domains in the forest. Because these objects are always created on the first domain controller created, a forest can consist of as little as one domain with a single domain controller, or it can consist of hundreds of domains across multiple trees.
