Chapter 1: INTRODUCING MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003 25
ACTIVE DIRECTORY TREE

Any Active Directory structure, even one with a
single domain, can be called a tree.

All domains in a tree must share a contiguous
namespace, a common schema, and a global
catalog.

Transitive trusts are automatically created between
all domains in the tree.


These trust relationships are important because
they make it possible to assign permissions to an
object in one domain for a resource in another
domain.
