The first ___domain that you create in your Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest is automatically designated as the forest root ___domain. The forest root ___domain provides the foundation for your Active Directory forest infrastructure. You must create the forest root ___domain before you create regional domains or upgrade other Active Directory domains to join them to an existing forest.
