Chapter 1. Advanced Active Directory infrastructure

If you are the administrator of a medium to large organization, it is likely that you are responsible for managing multiple domains, perhaps even multiple forests, rather than managing a single domain forest. In this chapter you discover how and why you would configure forests with multiple domain trees and the benefits of each functional level. You also find out how to configure and manage different types of trust relationships to ensure users in one forest or domain are granted appropriate access to resources in another forest, domain, or Kerberos realm.

Lessons in this chapter:

  • Lesson 1: Configure domains and forests

  • Lesson 2: Configure trusts
