Re: Windows Domain Structure



yes it does. it is the forest root domain.

the forest root domain (role) CANNOT be transfered to another domain in the
forest...

provided requirements are met (e.g. forest = w2k3 and FFL=w2k3)
* every domain can be renamed
* every domain can be repositioned, except for the forest root domain

if the forest root domain dies, the forest is dead!

Does the first domain in a Win2k3 forest have special significance?

Can any of that be transfered to another domain?
