Question: Explain the concept of Forest in Active Directory.

Answer: A Forest is the highest level of organizational structure in Active Directory and consists of one or more domains. Domains within a forest share a common schema, configuration, and global catalog. A forest is identified by a unique name and represents the security and administrative boundary for the organization.

Example:

A company with multiple subsidiaries might have a forest to represent the entire organization, with each subsidiary as a separate domain.
