Q . ) How to Add a Domain Forest using PowerShell
To use Install-ADDSDomain, you must also specify the parent domain name. Just as when using PowerShell to add a domain controller, you may either supply the Directory Services Restore Mode password in the cmdlet, or provide it when prompted.
This is an example of how to create a new domain in a forest with PowerShell:
Install-ADDSDomain -NewDomainName mychildn `
-ParentDomainName kartook.local; `
-InstallDNS `
-CreateDNSDelegation `
-DomainMode Win8 `
-ReplicationSourceDC dc01.kartook.local
Note: The ` character is used to continue the command on the next line
2. ) How to Add a New Forest with PowerShell
To use Install-ADDSForest, all that needs to be provided is the forest name. A prompt will allow the Directory Services Restore Mode password to be entered, and DNS is installed by default during a forest installation.
An example :
Install-ADDSForest “kartook.local”
Or you could be more specific:
Install-ADDSForest —DomainName kartook.local `
-CreateDNSDelegation `
-DomainMode Win8 `
-ForestMode Win8
