[Samba] Samba 4 AD What's the difference between a Domain and a Forest
A forest contains one or tree, with each tree containing one or more domains. In an AD, you need at least one forest. You would have additional branches if you needed a different top level DNS space. Domains are trusted and trusting. When you install active directory on a server it will ask if you are joining a domain, setting up a new domain in existing tree, or setting up a new tree (and domain) in an existing forest, or creating a whole new forest.
