AD confusion is choking me!

[tech212]

In what instances I have to install Active Directory?

When I create a new domain?
When I create a new forest?
When I promote a server to be Domain Controler?

When? I am confused!!!


Can I have more than 1 Active Directory in the forest?

Please explain.

Thank you

Go to

http://www.petri.co.il/

and read his introduction to Active Directory...

Active Directory is installed when you create a new domain in w2k or w2k3. But active directory is not the same as domain...

It is more a forest, and you can have different domains in the same forest... all sharing parts of the same Active Directory. It is both at a forest level and at a domain level...
