to check forest , domain can go command prompt , type ipconfig /all

c:\windows\system32>ipconfig /all

windows ip configuration

   host name . . . . . . . . . . . . : mycomputername
   primary dns suffix  . . . . . . . : contoso.local
   node type . . . . . . . . . . . . : hybrid
   ip routing enabled. . . . . . . . : no
   wins proxy enabled. . . . . . . . : no

contoso.local - forest root , domain name also

means 1 forest , 1 domain

=============================

c:\windows\system32>ipconfig /all

windows ip configuration

   host name . . . . . . . . . . . . : mycomputername
   primary dns suffix  . . . . . . . : contoso.exxcontoso.local
   node type . . . . . . . . . . . . : hybrid
   ip routing enabled. . . . . . . . : no
   wins proxy enabled. . . . . . . . : no

contoso - forest root 
exxcontoso - domain in forest contoso

1 forest root , 1 domain tree in forest
