Hello experts,<br />
I have a question about creating a forest in a Windows Server 2008 R2 environment. &nbsp;Currently, we have our own domain which is part of another forest and our domain has a trust relationship with a second domain in that forest. &nbsp;We want to create a new forest for our needs and make our existing domain a member of the new forest. &nbsp;The other domain will be in its current forest. &nbsp;I want to know on how to proceed with creating a new forest and have/establish a trust relationship with the existing forest already in place in our organization. &nbsp;What are the things/steps I need to do to create new forest and establish the trust relationship with other forest. &nbsp;If there is a particular order to start then please let us know how we should proceed?<br />
Thanks!<br />

Hello experts,
I have a question about creating a forest in a Windows Server 2008 R2 environment.  Currently, we have our own domain which is part of another forest and our domain has a trust relationship with a second domain in that forest.  We want to create a new forest for our needs and make our existing domain a member of the new forest.  The other domain will be in its current forest.  I want to know on how to proceed with creating a new forest and have/establish a trust relationship with the existing forest already in place in our organization.  What are the things/steps I need to do to create new forest and establish the trust relationship with other forest.  If there is a particular order to start then please let us know how we should proceed?
Thanks!
