Forest Planning Process

The primary steps for creating a forest plan for your organization are as follows:

  • Determine the number of forests for your network.

  • Create a forest change control policy.

  • Understand the impact of changes to the forest plan after deployment.

When creating the forest plan, you will probably need to consult:

  • Your current domain administrators that are responsible for user accounts, groups, and computers.

  • Your network security team.
