Active Directory Domains, Trees, Forests, and Trusts Overview
- The creation of the "FirstDomain.local" domain in Active Directory also creates a tree, with the first domain as its only member, and a forest to house the first tree.
- The forest root domain, which contains the Enterprise Admins and Schema Admins groups, remains the forest root domain throughout the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) deployment.
- Multiple forests offer autonomy and segregation, but require significant overhead and can be complex, with trust relationships allowing limited access to resources.
- Trusts are a way for domains to share information and resources, classified based on characteristics such as transitivity and direction.
- Transitivity of trusts determines whether they can be extended outside the two domains with which they were formed, while direction determines the flow and reciprocity of trust.
- Parent-Child and Tree-Root trusts are automatically established and are two-way transitive trusts, while forest trusts are manually created and can be one-way or two-way transitive trusts.
- Shortcut trusts are manually created one-way transitive trusts that directly allow one domain to trust another domain across different forests, bypassing other trust paths.
- Functional levels in Active Directory determine the available domain or forest capabilities and the Windows Server operating systems that can be run as domain controllers.
